Israeli forces swept into the Palestinians’ administrative capital of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank overnight, killing a 16-year-old in a refugee camp during their biggest raid into the city in years, Palestinian sources said on Monday.

Witnesses in Ramallah said Israeli forces had driven dozens of military vehicles into the city, which is the headquarters of the Palestinian Authority led by President Mahmoud Abbas.

The Palestinian health ministry said Israeli forces shot and killed 16-year-old Mustafa Abu Shalbak while raiding Am’ari refugee camp.

The Palestinian news agency WAFA said confrontations broke out as Israeli forces stormed the camp, “during which live bullets were fired at Palestinian youths”, wounding Abu Shalbak in the neck and chest.

    where Israel agreed to a cease fire in Gaza

    They didn’t agree to it tho…

    It’s US officials saying Israel is willing to negotiate. Israel isn’t even saying that, which is why they’re not sending people to negotiations

      If Netanyahu hadn’t tentatively agreed to it, why wouldn’t he still be bombing the shit out of southern Gaza instead of of heading over to the West Bank?

      Because he’s a sneaky, murderous asshole who probably figured since the tentative agreement was for Gazan Palestinians alone, he’d be adhering to the letter of the “law” by murdering West Bank Palestinians instead.

        If Netanyahu hadn’t tentatively agreed to it,

        He hasn’t even done that…

        Every article headline you see that makes it sound like he did, the article (really subtitle most of the time) clarifies that no Israeli official said it. They’re all rumors from unsourced “US officials”.

        Who are just saying it because Biden keeps saying it.

        It’s either propaganda or the Biden admin is just that disengaged from reality that they’re walking away honestly believing it.

        Both are terrible
