Nablus/PNN/ 

A Palestinian teen was killed early this morning during an Israeli military incursion into Joseph's Tomb area, east of the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, according to the Ministry of Health.

It said that Mahdi Hashash, 15, was killed as a result of several shrapnels that penetrated his body while confronting the Israeli army raid.

Ahmad Jibril, the head of the Emergency and Ambulance Department at the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS), said three Palestinians were shot with rubber-coated steel bullets and taken to hospital while 57 Palestinians suffered from suffocation due to inhaling tear gas bombs fired towards them by the soldiers.
