Jenin,Occupied West Bank, At 3:00PM on Monday March 24,
A15 year old child was shot in the head and killed by Israeli forces while imposing curfew in the 
city of Jenin. His name was "Ahmed Imad Abu Jelhad". Another child was shot in the leg and is 
recovering atMartyr Doctor Khalid Suliman hospital in Jenin. Israeli forces have threatened to 
search the hospital forother children they claim have entered the hospital and who were not 
hurt. There are 5internationals at the hospital from the International Solidarity Movement. 

According to Lasse, a member of ISM from Denmark "Tanks, jeeps, and APc's have been 
patroling the area since yesterday. Today, there were many youngsters breaking curfew and 
throwing rocks at the tanks and APC's. At about 3:00 PM, one of the soldiers shot a child in the 
leg. At that time, members if the ISM accompanied him to the Martyr Doctor Khalid Suliman 
hospital. As soon as the members of ISM were gone from the area, the Israeli soldiers shot in 
the head and killed Ahmed". 

Shortly thereafter, Soldiers came to the hospital and demanded to see the director. They 
informed the director at that time that they would return in 1 hour to search the hospitl. There 
are currentlythree members of ISM at the hospital with the injured child. At any time now they 
are expecting the soldiers to come back to search the hospital, in direct violation of the Geneva
