Palestinian ministry says Israeli forces kill teen in West Bank

The Palestinian health ministry says Israeli forces fatally shot a 16-year-old boy in the West Bank, the second reported killing of a Palestinian teenager within a week.

Two other boys, both aged 14, were injured in the incident at the Qalandia refugee camp near Ramallah, the ministry says.

“Sixteen-year-old Waleed Nidal Waleed Abu Sneineh was pronounced dead after being shot by Israeli forces,” the ministry said.

“Two other children sustained gunshot wounds to… lower limbs in the same incident.”

The Israeli military does not immediately respond to a request for comment.
