Palestinian teen dies of wounds from Israeli fire in Jenin, death toll rises to 7

A teenage Palestinian girl died of her wounds from an Israeli military raid in the West Bank city of Jenin on Wednesday, pushing the death toll to seven, according to the Health Ministry.

A ministry statement said Sadil Turkman, 15, was shot in the head during the Israeli raid on Monday and was pronounced dead on Wednesday.

At least 91 people were also injured in the raid, including 23 in critical condition.

The military incursion triggered clashes with angry local residents during which Israeli forces used live fire, tear gas canisters, and sound bombs.

An Israeli military helicopter fired missiles at a residential building during the raid, marking the first use of military aircraft by Israel in the West Bank in over two decades, since 2002, according to witnesses.

Seven Israeli soldiers were wounded in an ambush of an armored vehicle during the raid, according to the army.

The Israeli raid in Jenin drew a wave of condemnations from several countries, including Türkiye, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, and the EU bloc.

Tensions have been running high across the occupied West Bank in recent months amid repeated Israeli raids into Palestinian towns.

At least 174 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since the start of this year, according to the Health Ministry. Twenty-five Israelis have also been killed in separate attacks during the same period.
