Armed Palestinian teen said shot in central West Bank

A Palestinian teenager reportedly armed with a firearm is shot by Israeli security forces near a Palestinian village in the central West Bank, according to reports in Hebrew-language media.

The Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance service says the 16-year-old from Deir Nidham was critically injured by Israeli forces.

“He is critically injured. We are trying to save his life,” a spokesperson tells the Times of Israel.

The incident took place several kilometers from the Israeli settlement of Halamish, where three Israeli civilians were stabbed to death by a Palestinian terrorist in July 2017.
