Palestinian teenager killed during Israeli military raid in Jenin

Israeli troops have shot and killed a Palestinian teenager and seriously wounded another during a raid at the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank on Saturday, the Palestinian Health Ministry and local media said.

There was no immediate comment from Israel's military, which has intensified overnight raids in the northern West Bank town of Jenin following attacks in Israel and the West Bank over the past months.

"A 17-year-old boy was killed, and an 18-year-old was critically wounded by the Israeli occupation's bullets during its aggression on Jenin," a statement by the health ministry said.

The ministry identified the dead teenager as Amjad Al Fayyed, 17.

Local media reported that clashes erupted outside Jenin’s refugee camp when Israeli forces stormed the area.

Jenin refugee camp has become a flashpoint following a wave of attacks in Israel in which 19 people were killed. Israel says it is carrying out “counter-terrorism activities” to detain wanted militants and planners of the attacks.

A Palestinian and an Israeli commando were killed and 13 Palestinians were injured during an operation by Israeli forces in the camp on May 11.

The Palestinian was identified as Daoud Al Zubaidi, a brother of Zakaria Al Zubaidi, who headed the armed wing of the Fatah movement of Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas and briefly escaped from Israeli prison last year.

Hours earlier, a veteran Palestinian journalist for Al Jazeera satellite channel was killed while covering an Israeli military operation in Jenin. Shireen Abu Akleh’s family, the broadcaster, the Palestinian Authority and witnesses accused Israel of shooting the correspondent for the Qatari channel. Israel accused Palestinian militants of firing at the journalist but backtracked later.

Israeli military officials said on Thursday a soldier’s rifle that may have killed Abu Akleh had been identified, but it could not be confirmed until the Palestinians turn over the bullet for analysis.

The Palestinian Authority has demanded an international investigation into the shooting.

Chef Nobu's advice for eating sushi

“One mistake people always make is adding extra wasabi. There is no need for this, because it should already be there between the rice and the fish.
“When eating nigiri, you must dip the fish – not the rice – in soy sauce, otherwise the rice will collapse. Also, don’t use too much soy sauce or it will make you thirsty. For sushi rolls, dip a little of the rice-covered roll lightly in soy sauce and eat in one bite.
“Chopsticks are acceptable, but really, I recommend using your fingers for sushi. Do use chopsticks for sashimi, though.
“The ginger should be eaten separately as a palette cleanser and used to clear the mouth when switching between different pieces of fish.”

10 tips for entry-level job seekers
  • Have an up-to-date, professional LinkedIn profile. If you don’t have a LinkedIn account, set one up today. Avoid poor-quality profile pictures with distracting backgrounds. Include a professional summary and begin to grow your network.
  • Keep track of the job trends in your sector through the news. Apply for job alerts at your dream organisations and the types of jobs you want – LinkedIn uses AI to share similar relevant jobs based on your selections.
  • Double check that you’ve highlighted relevant skills on your resume and LinkedIn profile.
  • For most entry-level jobs, your resume will first be filtered by an applicant tracking system for keywords. Look closely at the description of the job you are applying for and mirror the language as much as possible (while being honest and accurate about your skills and experience).
  • Keep your CV professional and in a simple format – make sure you tailor your cover letter and application to the company and role.
  • Go online and look for details on job specifications for your target position. Make a list of skills required and set yourself some learning goals to tick off all the necessary skills one by one.
  • Don’t be afraid to reach outside your immediate friends and family to other acquaintances and let them know you are looking for new opportunities.
  • Make sure you’ve set your LinkedIn profile to signal that you are “open to opportunities”. Also be sure to use LinkedIn to search for people who are still actively hiring by searching for those that have the headline “I’m hiring” or “We’re hiring” in their profile.
  • Prepare for online interviews using mock interview tools. Even before landing interviews, it can be useful to start practising.
  • Be professional and patient. Always be professional with whoever you are interacting with throughout your search process, this will be remembered. You need to be patient, dedicated and not give up on your search. Candidates need to make sure they are following up appropriately for roles they have applied.
