Israel-Palestinians Conflict: Eight-Year-Old, Teen Shot Dead In West Bank City Of Jenin

An eight-year-old boy and a teenager were killed by the Israeli Army in the occupied west bank city of Jenin amid talks to extend humanitarian truce.

CCTV footage circulating online and on television news shows a boy being struck by a bullet and falling in the street, sending other children fleeing.

Other images show a teenager also being hit by a bullet and falling, then appearing to call for help as more shots hit the ground around him and other people run for cover.

An official with the Palestinian Red Crescent told AFP that the boy and the teen had been on a side street of central Jenin's main thoroughfare, an area theoretically off limits to the Israeli Military as it is under the sole control of the Palestinian authority.
