From IDF says slain Palestinian teen was throwing stones
The Palestinian teenager who was shot and killed by IDF troops in al-Aroub in the West Bank had been throwing stones at passing cars, an army spokesperson says.
“During routine IDF security activity, forces spotted assailants hurling rocks at civilian vehicles on Route 60, adjacent to al-Aroub. Forces responded to the immediate threat and fired towards one of the attackers,” the IDF official says.
It was not immediately clear if the soldiers attempted to stop the Palestinian teen through non-lethal means before firing directly at him.
