'Palestinians: 15-year-old Killed in Clash With Israeli Army Mar 11, 2020 JERUSALEM (AP) — The Palestinian health ministry on Wednesday said Israeli troops shot and killed a 15-year-old boy during clashes near the West Bank city of Nablus. The ministry says Mohammed Hamayel was shot in the head by a live bullet during confrontations with Israeli soldiers in the village of Beita and died in a hospital shortly after. The Israeli military said it was responding to a “violent riot” of some 500 Palestinians, many of whom hurled rocks at Israeli troops and set tires on fire. It said it was reviewing the incident. Palestinians said they were protesting at the site in response to what they called an Israeli plan to confiscate land for nearby settlements. Palestinian witnesses said the Israeli military arrived to disperse the protest, and the protesters began hurling stones at the soldiers. The witnesses said the Israeli forces responded with tear gas and rubber-coated bullets. /.. https://www.haaretz.com/world-news/wires/1.8663862 |
