A 17-year-old was among a group of 10 people killed in a double Israeli drone attack in Tammun town in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday night, a child rights organisation said, Al Jazeera reports.

Defence for Children International (DCI)-Palestine said the slain teenager, Jihad Nasser Yousef Bani Matar, was brought to hospital after the deadly, no-warning attack with “shrapnel wounds and burns all over his body”.

There were no Israeli ground forces in the Tammun area at the time of the attack, DCI said, adding that Israel now routinely carries out air attacks “in densely populated areas with no regard for Palestinian children’s lives”.

The killing of the teenager brings the number of Palestinian children killed in the occupied territory so far this year to 10 — six killed in drone attacks and four shot dead by Israeli forces, the organisation said.

“No one has been held responsible for killing these ten children,” it added.
