Troops shoot Palestinian rock-thrower near Ramallah — IDF

Israeli troops shoot a Palestinian suspect who the military says was part of a pair throwing rocks at cars along a highway in the northern West Bank.

The IDF says two suspects were seen by the soldiers throwing rocks “and planning to also throw stun grenades” at cars near the Palestinian village of Deir Abu Mashal, northwest of Ramallah.

“The troops opened fire, which hit one of the suspects,” the IDF says.

The military says soldiers are searching for the suspects.
