    A photo shared on social media shows Muhammad Abu Hashhash, 17, who was killed on Aug. 16, 2016 in the al-Fawwar refugee camp.

    BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) — A Palestinian teenager died on Tuesday afternoon after being shot by Israeli forces with live ammunition earlier in the day during clashes in the al-Fawwar refugee camp in the southern occupied West Bank district of Hebron, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said.

    The ministry identified the slain youth as 17-year-old Muhammad Abu Hashhash.

    Palestinian Red Crescent spokeswoman Errab Foqoha told Ma’an that Abu Hashhash succumbed to wounds sustained when he was “shot with live ammunition in the heart” by Israeli forces during clashes in al-Fawwar in which at least 32 other Palestinians were injured.

    Israeli forces stormed al-Fawwar at dawn on Tuesday, ransacking homes and interrogating residents. Clashes then broke out between local youth and Israeli soldiers who fired live gunshots, tear gas, and rubber-coated steel bullets at the youth, injuring at least 33, including Abu Hashhash.

      On 16 August 2016, at around 5:00 P.M., a military sniper shot and killed 19-year-old Palestinian Muhammad Yusef Saber Abu Hashhash during a raid on al-Fawwar Refugee Camp, which lies southwest of Hebron. According to media reports, Abu Hashhash was shot from behind. A live bullet penetrated his back and exited through his chest, above the heart.

      The raid on the refugee camp began at around 3:00 A.M., when three battalions entered it. According to the IDF Spokesperson, the purpose of the raid was “to arrest suspects, to search for illegal weapons, and to summon individuals for questioning”. The spokesperson also said that the soldiers were met with stone throwing, Molotov cocktail throwing, and improvised explosives, and responded with crowd control measures and firing “Ruger” (also known as Two-Two or 0.22-inch) bullets. Three Palestinians who were wanted for questioning were apprehended and the troops found two guns, stun grenades, and military equipment including bulletproof vests, helmets and canteens. The troops left the camp in the evening.

      B’Tselem’s field research found that some 32 Palestinians were wounded in the raid. The soldiers searched 150 to 200 homes, and in scores of them took up positions on rooftops. During most of the intrusions into homes, the soldiers closed all family members off in a single room or section of the house for several hours. Soldiers broke windows, doors and walls and damaged property in 28 of the homes they invaded.(...)

    BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) — Three Palestinians were shot dead by Israeli troops on Monday morning after they allegedly carried out attacks near an illegal Israeli settlement in the southern occupied West Bank in which four Israeli soldiers were injured.

    An Israeli army spokesperson told Ma’an that Israeli forces shot and killed two Palestinians after they opened fire at Israelis waiting at a bus stop near the settlement of Kiryat Arba on the outskirts of Hebron.

    Witnesses said two Palestinians in a Peugeot 504 pick-up truck tried to shoot at Israelis at the bus station and that Israeli troops fired back at them, killing them immediately.

    Shortly afterwards, she added, a car ran into a military vehicle in a “ram attack,” and Israeli soldiers shot and killed the driver.

    The Palestinian Ministry of Health identified the Palestinians as Qasem Farid Jaber and Ameer Fuad al-Junaidi from Hebron, and Yousef Mustafa Tarayra ,18, from the town of Bani Naim east of Hebron.

    Palestinian Red Crescent spokeswoman Errab Foqoha told Ma’an that Israeli forces barred a medical team from her organization from accessing the scene.

    The Israeli army said one soldier was wounded in the shooting attack, while two soldiers and an officer were wounded in the second altercation. She said they were evacuated to a hospital and were believed to be in moderate condition.

    BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) — A young Palestinian man was shot and killed by Israeli forces during clashes in the occupied West Bank village of Beit Fajjar on Friday, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said.

    The Palestinian Authority ministry said Khaled Yousif Taqatqa , 21, was shot in clashes between the Israeli army and Palestinian protesters in the village south of Bethlehem, and died as a result of his injuries at the Hadassah hospital in Jerusalem.

    Taqatqa is the third Palestinian killed by Israeli security forces on Friday.

    The Palestinian Red Crescent was informed that Taqatqa had been injured, but was prevented by Israeli forces from reaching him on the scene, Red Crescent spokesperson Errab Foqoha told Ma’an.

    An Israeli army spokesperson said they were looking into the report.

    Many villages in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem participate in weekly Friday protests. Israeli forces have received criticism for excessive use force as well as lethal methods of crowd control that often result in death or injury of protesters during these demonstrations.

    At least 11 Palestinians were reported injured by live bullets and rubber-coated steel bullets in protests in the West Bank and Gaza on Friday.
