JERUSALEM (HRNW) – A Palestinian teenager was killed Friday by Israeli troops during West Bank protests, the Palestinian health ministry said, days after Israel approved plans for 3,000 new settler homes in the occupied territory despite international criticism.
Friday, the Muslim day of rest and worship, is often marked by protests in the West Bank against the expansion of Israeli settlements, which most of the international community regards as illegal.
The health ministry said Mohammed Daadas, 13, died in hospital after being shot in the stomach during clashes between Palestinian protesters and Israeli forces in Deir al-Hatab village, east of Nablus.
Palestinian prime minister Mohammed Shtayyeh said Friday the death of Daadas was “organised state terrorism”, according to the official Palestinian news agency Wafa.
