Israeli forces raided the West Bank city of Jenin on Sunday, killing a 14-year-old boy, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said. Qusai Radwan Waked was shot in the abdomen, the ministry said.The target of the raid was Jibril Zubeidi, who was detained, Israeli and Palestinian authorities said.In a joint statement, the Israel Defense Forces, Border Police and Israel Security Agency said that during the raid, “armed individuals fired at the forces who responded back with live fire… Furthermore, suspects hurled explosive devices and rocks at the forces.“We are aware of the reports regarding a number of armed individuals who got injured during the exchange of fire,” the Israeli statement said.
One Palestinian armed group, the Fatah-linked Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, is calling Waked a "heroic martyr," meaning that he was indeed involved in the battle.

They don't want to know.
UPDATE: It turns out he was a member of Islamic Jihad, which released this photo (h/t Adin):
