Israeli occupation forces have shot dead a Palestinian teenager in the Gaza Strip

Israeli occupation forces have shot dead a Palestinian teenager in the Gaza Strip in the latest round of aggression against the residents of the besieged enclave, Palestinian medical sources say.

The teenager, who was said to be 17 years old, was martyred late on Tuesday by Israeli gunfire when he came near the border with Israel east of the refugee camp of Maghazi in the central Gaza Strip, AFP reported.

This comes as Israeli warplanes launched several airstrikes on different parts of the coastal sliver earlier on the day, killing at least one person and injuring seven others.
