Israeli forces killed a 19-year-old Palestinian in a West Bank raid, citing an explosive attack.

A 19-year-old Palestinian man was killed and another youth injured during an Israeli military raid in the Askar refugee camp near Nablus in the West Bank on November 16, 2025. Israeli forces said they responded to an explosive attack by a suspected terrorist, killing the man during a pre-dawn operation. Palestinian sources reported the teenager died from a chest wound after being detained and handed over to medical teams. The incident is part of a broader surge in violence across the West Bank since the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel, with Palestinian authorities reporting over 1,000 deaths and widespread destruction.
