Palestinian teen shot and killed by Israeli forces in clashes erupted in Bethlehem, south of the occupied West Bank.
Palestine's official Wafa news agency said the 16-year-old Palestinian, identified as Mustafa Amer Sabbah, was killed on Friday by Israeli “live fire” during confrontations that broke out in the village of Tuqu, to the southeast of Bethlehem.
“Confrontations broke out at the western entrance of Tuqu village, during which Israeli occupation soldiers fired live bullets, teargas canisters, and stun grenades at the village residents, shooting and critically injuring a teenager in the chest,” the news agency added.
Sabbah was rushed to hospital in a critical condition due to a serious gunshot wound to the chest, where he was pronounced dead.
Palestine's Shehab news agency also reported the development, adding that the Israeli occupation forces sealed off the western entrance of the village with a flying checkpoint after the teenager was pronounced dead.
