Israeli forces kill Palestinian teenager protesting Israel’s killing of three youths
Hebron (QNN)- Israeli occupation forces shot and killed a 17-year-old Palestinian boy on Tuesday in the occupied West Bank city of Hebron while taking part in a protest against the killing of three youths in Nablus earlier in the day.
The Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed that Momen Yasin Jaber arrived at Hebron’s Ahli Hospital with serious injuries after being shot with an Israeli expanding dumdum bullet in the heart. Reports said the boy succumbed to his wounds while doctors tried to save his life.
Local sources said confrontations erupted that day between Israeli soldiers and Palestinian youths taking part in a protest against Israel’s killing of three Palestinians, including Ibrahim al-Nabulsi, one of the most wanted resistance fighters by the Israeli occupation forces in Nablus and the head of Fatah’s armed wing, al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, on Tuesday in Nablus during a military raid.
