Palestinian teenager shot dead near Ramallah
A teenager has been shot dead by the Israeli army near the town of Nilin, west of Ramallah, the Palestinian news agency Wafa has reported. The 17-year-old Palestinian child from the town of Hableh was heading to visit his friends in the city of Ramallah, the family told the news agency.
It is unclear what triggered the shooting. Israeli forces have been carrying out raids across the occupied West Bank amid rising tensions triggered by the war in Gaza.
