A Palestinian youth was killed this morning by Israeli gunfire in the refugee camp of al-Fara'a, south of the occupied West Bank city of Tubas, according to the Ministry of Health.

The Ministry said in a statement that Younis Ghassan Tayeh, 21, was killed after Israeli forces directly shot him in the heart during a military raid on the said city in which the soldiers broke into and raided several houses.

Clashes broke out between Palestinians and Israeli soldiers who fired sound and tear gas bombs, according to Palestine News Agency.

The Israeli forces detained two youths from the city, and raided the house of former prisoner Yousef Tayeh but he wasn't there.
