According to Palestinian sources, Israeli soldiers shot and killed a 16-year-old near Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank. The boy was shot in the chest, the Palestinian Health Ministry said Friday. According to Israeli reports, several youths threw stones at emergency services beforehand. Then there were confrontations. A military spokesman said the incident is under investigation.
The security situation in Israel and the Palestinian territories has long been extremely tense. There are repeated clashes between Palestinians and the Israeli army in the West Bank. The army has been conducting raids there since a series of attacks.
On Friday afternoon, the Israeli army arrested a wanted Palestinian in the northern West Bank town of Jenin. The Israeli army accuses him of involvement in attacks against Israelis. According to the Palestinian news agency Wafa, at least four Palestinians were injured in the clashes.
Since the beginning of the year, 98 Palestinians have been shot dead during Israeli military operations, confrontations or after their own attacks. During the same period, 17 Israelis, a Ukrainian and an Italian were killed in attacks.
Israel captured the West Bank and East Jerusalem in 1967. Today, more than 600,000 Israeli settlers live there. The Palestinians claim the territories for an independent state of Palestine with the Arab-influenced eastern part of Jerusalem as its capital. (sda/dpa)
