A 21-year-old Palestinian boy, identified as Adnan Issam Zaid, was shot dead by Israeli forces during an early morning raid in Qalqilya, north of the occupied West Bank, Palestinian news agency Wafa reports.

According to the agency, Israeli occupation forces opened gunfire while conducting search and arrest raids that targeted several homes in the city. “The indiscriminate shooting resulted in Zaid being critically injured in cold blood while on his way to work at a local bakery, before he was announced dead of his wounds shortly later,” it said.

Wafa reports that a general strike has been declared in Qalqilya.
