Palestinian teen girl shot while throwing rocks
A Palestinian teenage girl was shot by IDF troops as she threw rocks at them near the central West Bank village of Silwad, the army says.
She was injured and taken to a nearby hospital for treatment, the army says.
The army did not give the extent of her injuries.
According to a military spokesperson, a group of Palestinian teenagers were throwing rocks at cars driving along the Route 60 highway near Silwad.
An IDF unit in the area chased after them. When the Palestinians threw “rocks and bricks” at them, the soldiers opened fire.
According to the army, only one rock thrower was injured.
