HEBRON (Ma’an) — A 16-year-old Palestinian was shot and killed and at least one other Palestinian teen was injured, after Israeli forces opened fire at a group of Palestinian youth in al-Arrub refugee camp in the southern occupied West Bank district of Hebron on Friday evening.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health confirmed that 16-year-old Murad Yusif Abu Ghazi died after succumbing to a gunshot wound in his chest, after he was evacuated to the intensive care unit at Hebron’s Al-Ahli Hospital.
Doctors at the hospital told Ma’an that another Palestinian, identified as 17-year-old Saif Salim Rushdi, was brought to the ICU after he was also shot by Israeli forces in the camp.
The details behind the shooting remained unclear. However, Israeli media sites reported that Israeli forces had opened fire at a group of Palestinian youths, after the teens allegedly attempted the throw Molotov cocktails at soldiers.
