Raids In Palestine.

During a raid near the northern occupied West Bank city of Jenin, the Israeli army killed a 17-year-old Palestinian boy with a bullet to the head. Throughout the course of the last few months, raids have increased and there have been countless other teenagers who have been killed in the same brutal manner. The devastation from this conflict has been such that it is almost impossible to tally the lives ruined or lost since 2014.

Recent spurs of conflict were centred around the village of Kufr Dan; the Israeli army raided and wounded three Palestinian soldiers and killed several civilians including Odai Trad Salah. Such raids are part of the larger attempt to demolish homes and punish those who resist Israel's forces, power and claim to the land. The situation has become so tense that recently, as many as 18 raids were carried out in which multiple families were made subjects of field interrogations and their homes were completely destroyed. Civilians are constantly living in fear of an attack and the constant threat of losing their lives or being displaced.
