Palestinian teen fatally shot by Israeli soldiers in clashes

Palestinian Ministry of Health announced Thursday that a young Palestinian was killed by Israeli forces gunfire near Ramallah.

The Ministry said in an emailed press statement that Ahmad Kharrubi, 19, was fatally shot by Israeli soldiers during clashes in Kufor Aqab town between Ramallah and Jerusalem.

Local sources said that Israeli forces stormed into the nearby Qalandia refugee camp and Kufor Aqab town, which spurred clashes with Palestinians.

The Israeli forces partially demolished the house of Musbah Abu Sbeih, a Palestinian who was killed by Israeli forces on Oct. 9 in Jerusalem, accusing him of opening fire toward Israelis and killing two Israelis, including a policeman.

A wave of tensions have broke out between Palestinians and Israeli forces since October 2015, causing over 340 Palestinians and 42 Israelis killed, according to official statistics.
