The IDF says it is investigating the death of a Palestinian boy amid clashes in a West Bank village.
Earlier today, Palestinian media and the Yesh Din rights group reported that a 10-year-old boy, Amr Mohamed Najjar, was shot dead by IDF troops in Burin, close to Nablus.
In response to a query, the IDF says troops were operating in Burin when several suspects began to hurl stones at them.
The IDF says the soldiers returned fire, and a short while later it received reports of a Palestinian minor being hit.
“The circumstances of the incident are under investigation,” the IDF says.
