Israeli occupation forces shot dead a Palestinian teen Friday evening near the West Bank city of Ramallah, the latest Israeli attack against Palestinians in the occupied territories.

Laith al-Khaldi,17, born in the Jalazone refugee camp near Ramallah, was shot in the chest at the Atara checkpoint and later died from his injuries at Palestine Medical Complex near Ramallah, Maan news agency quoted medical sources as saying.

The teen underwent two surgeries before succumbing to his injuries, the Palestinian news agency said, adding that he lost a significant amount of blood on his way to the hospital.

Earlier on Friday, a Palestinian baby was burned to death as Zionist settlers set fire to a Palestinian home in a village near Nablus in West Bank. Four other Palestinians of the same family, including the mother, father and brother of the martyred baby, were critically injured by the brutal attack.

Also on Friday, the occupation forces shot dead another 17-year-old in Gaza near the buffer zone, along with another Palestinian who was shot and moderately injured.

Al-Khaldi was taking part in a protest against the Israeli attacks.

He was at least the 21th Palestinian to be killed by Israeli forces since the start of 2015.
