Sharjah 24 – AFP: Israeli troops killed a Palestinian teenager near the West Bank city of Jenin on Tuesday, the Palestinian health ministry said, as violence surged in the occupied territory.
In the southern West Bank, troops made two arrests following the deadly shooting on Monday of an Israeli settler near the city of Hebron.
"Othman Mohammed Abu Khurog, 17, died after he was shot in the head by the Israeli forces," the Palestinian health ministry said.
Abu Khurog was killed when clashes erupted in the small town of Zababdeh, southeast of Jenin, which Israeli forces had entered to make an arrest, the official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.
