Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Palestinian Health Ministry says a teenager who was shot by Israeli security forces earlier in the day in the central West Bank has died of his injuries.
The official Wafa news agency says 17-year-old Musab Firas al-Tamimi was shot in the head by Israeli security forces northwest of Ramallah, and died shortly after arriving at the city’s Istishari Hospital.
Reports in Hebrew-language media said the teen was involved in riots with Israeli security forces while armed with a pistol.
An Israeli army spokeswoman says dozens of Palestinians took part in a riot in the Palestinian village of Deir Nizam and soldiers spotted one with a gun before firing in his direction.
An investigation has begun into the incident, the spokeswoman says.
