A Palestinian 17-year-old boy has been shot dead and an 18-year-old has been critically injured since Israeli forces opened fire in connection with a raid on the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian Ministry of Health states.

The incident must have occurred in the Jenin refugee camp.

The dead man is said to be the brother of Zakaria al-Zubaidi, who leads the Fatah movement's armed branch.

Last week, 13 Palestinians were injured in another Israeli operation in the camp.
