A 15-year-old Palestinian was shot dead in clashes with troops during an IDF raid of the village of Silwad near Ramallah in the West Bank, the Palestinian Authority health ministry reports.
The teen was identified as Yamen Samid Yusuf Hamed, a resident of Silwad.
The PA’s official Wafa news site says that Israeli troops used live ammunition, tear gas and sound grenades during the clashes.
Wafa cites unnamed local sources who say that the IDF held up an ambulance trying to reach Hamed for critical minutes as he bled out. The boy was declared dead at a nearby hospital.
There is no immediate comment from the IDF.
