Security sources told WAFA that Jadallah Jihad Jumaa Jadallah was shot by Israeli occupation forces inside the camp.
Ambulance crews were prevented from reaching him to provide medical assistance, the sources said. His death was later confirmed, and Israeli soldiers withheld his body, according to WAFA reporting.
The ninth-grade student at UNRWA-run Al-Far'a Boys' Basic School was mourned by the Palestinian Ministry of Education, which condemned the targeting of children and educational institutions during Israeli military operations.
Earlier in the evening, the Palestine Red Crescent Society reported treating two injured Palestinians following the Israeli military incursion. A 16-year-old child sustained a shrapnel wound in the waist area, while an 18-year-old youth suffered shrapnel injuries in the lower limbs, according to the organization. Ambulance teams were prevented from reaching a third injured individual, who was later detained by Israeli forces, WAFA reported.
The Israeli military stormed Al-Far'a camp with several military patrols, deploying forces throughout the refugee camp's streets, according to WAFA. The operation followed earlier Israeli military incursions into the nearby towns of Aqqaba and Tubas.
The raid is part of an ongoing pattern of military operations across the occupied West Bank.
Since the start of the Israeli war on Gaza, Israeli occupation forces and paramilitary settlers have intensified their assaults across the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, killing at least 1,048 Palestinians and injuring approximately 9,674 others.
