    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.

    BETHLEHEM (Maan) — Israeli forces shot dead a 16-year-old Palestinian during clashes in the southern occupied West Bank district of Hebron’s al-Arrub refugee camp on Tuesday, medical sources told Ma’an.

    Doctors at al-Mizan hospital in Hebron said the boy, identified as Omar Madi , was shot in the chest during clashes in the camp and was evacuated to the hospital where he succumbed to his wounds.

    An Israeli army spokesperson said during “a routine security activity” Israeli soldiers “spotted a number of boys throwing stones at Israeli vehicles at route 60 near al-Arrub refugee camp,” adding that “the soldiers responded with riot dispersal means and shot one of the demonstrators with live fire.”

    Locals said Israeli forces shot tear gas, rubber-coated steel bullets and live fire during clashes in the camp, while youths responded with rocks and Molotov cocktails.

    Al-Arrub refugee camp lies along Route 60, a major West Bank road that Israeli settlers regularly use to reach a cluster of illegal Israeli settlements in Hebron, and the camp has been site to frequent clashes with Israeli military over the past several months.

      Feb. 10, 2016 8:24 P.M. (Updated: Feb. 10, 2016 9:41 P.M.)

      HEBRON (Ma’an) — A report from an autopsy performed on a 16-year-old Palestinian killed when clashes broke out during an Israeli military raid Tuesday revealed the teen died from a bullet to the chest.

      Hebron’s District Attorney Alaa al-Tamimi told Ma’an Wednesday that Omar Yousef Madi al-Jawabreh died after being hit by a single bullet that entered his body from the right side of his chest.

      Al-Tamimi said the bullet penetrated the teen’s liver, kidneys, and spleen before exiting his body from the lower left side of his rib cage.

      The al-Jawabreh family is expected to hold a funeral on Thursday, Al-Tamimi added.

      The 16-year-old was shot when clashes erupted between residents and Israeli forces raiding al-Arrub refugee camp in the southern occupied West Bank district of Hebron, locals said.

      An Israeli army spokesperson said following the teen’s death that Israeli soldiers had “responded with riot dispersal means” to a “number of boys throwing stones at Israeli vehicles on Route 60,” hitting one “demonstrator” with live fire.

    HEBRON (Ma’an) — A 19-year-old Palestinian was shot and killed in al-Arrub refugee camp in northern Hebron on Thursday during clashes, medics told Ma’an, the 3rd Palestinian to be killed during the day.

    Red Crescent officials said that Khalid Mahmoud al-Jawabreh , 19, was shot twice in the stomach by Israeli soldiers and later died from his injuries in the al-Ahli hospital in Hebron.

    The teenager was shot during clashes in the camp between youths and armed Israeli military forces.

    An Israeli army spokesperson said “a Palestinian with a lit Molotov cocktail in hand attempted to hit vehicles off route 60 in the area of al-Arrub, forces on site responded to the immediate threat, shooting .22 calibre rounds, thwarting the attack.”

    The main entrance to al-Arrub camp has been entirely closed for the past few days, with soldiers deployed at other entrances and in surrounding areas.

    An ambulance attempting to reach al-Jawabreh was forced to take a lengthy route to arrive at the scene of the shooting.

    Al-Arrub refugee camp lies along Route 60, a major West Bank road that Israeli settlers regularly use to reach a cluster of illegal Israeli settlements in Hebron, and the camp has been site to frequent clashes with Israeli military over the past month.

      Ce jeudi 26 novembre aura été une journée particulièrement meurtrière au Proche-Orient. Trois Palestiniens ont été tués par les forces israéliennes, dont deux jeunes hommes dans des affrontements en Cisjordanie occupée.

      Khaled Jawabrah , 19 ans, a été blessé par des tirs de soldats israéliens lors d’affrontements dans le camp de réfugiés d’Al Aroub près d’Hébron, en Cisjordanie occupée. Selon l’armée, le jeune homme tenait un cocktail Molotov et tentait de viser des voitures.

      La route est empruntée par de nombreux colons qui occupent la Cisjordanie de manière illégale au regard du droit international. Selon la presse palestinienne, Khaled Jawabrah est mort de ses blessures à l’hôpital. L’ambulance aurait eu du mal à aller le chercher. L’entrée principale du camp est totalement bouclée par les Israéliens depuis plusieurs jours.

      Une centaine de morts depuis octobre

      Un peu plus tôt dans la journée, un autre jeune homme de 21 ans, Yahya Taha , est mort sous les balles israéliennes, également au cours d’affrontements dans un village palestinien au nord-ouest de Jérusalem.

      Enfin, près de Naplouse, un homme se serait rué vers des gardes-frontières, un couteau à la main, selon la police israélienne. Il a été immédiatement abattu.
