Two Palestinian teenagers were killed Tuesday during clashes with IDF troops carrying out raids in the West Bank, the Palestinian health ministry said.
According to the ministry, Amir Wahdan, 14, was killed in Tubas in the northern West Bank, where the army said troops had gone in to arrest “two wanted suspects.”
Witnesses tell AFP that clashes broke out with young people throwing stones at Israeli army vehicles and soldiers responding with fire.
According to the army, “several gunmen opened fire at the security forces, who responded with live fire.”
Near Ramallah, the seat of the Palestinian Authority, 17-year-old Malik Deghreh was killed by Israeli fire, the Palestinian ministry says.
Clashes erupted after the Israeli army entered a village to carry out searches, witnesses say.
A young Palestinian was also killed overnight Monday in Beitunia, a village between the Israeli Ofer prison and Ramallah, the ministry says.
The Israeli army said it went into Beitunia overnight “to prevent any riots” but that as soldiers approached, “assailants hurled explosive devices and Molotov cocktails at the forces and lit up trash on the main road.”
