Israeli special forces killed a 15-year-old Palestinian boy, Rafat Omar Ahmad Khamayseh, when he discovered their presence during a military raid in the Jenin refugee camp.

Despite attempts to save him, Rafat died before receiving medical attention. The incident highlights the ongoing use of lethal force against Palestinian children by Israeli forces, with at least 46 children killed in 2023 alone. International and local rights groups have condemned the escalating violence and declared 2023 as the "deadliest" year for Palestinians in the occupied West Bank since 2005.
