Israeli troops shot dead a Palestinian teenager and wounded four others as they returned from a swimming pool Tuesday after mistaking them for stone-throwers, sparking outrage and drawing renewed attention to open fire rules.
Wajih Ahmad, head of the Beit Ur Al-Tahta local council, said the teen, Mahmoud Badran, was killed when the car he was traveling in was fired upon by an Israeli military patrol.
The hospital in the West Bank city of Ramallah said another Palestinian was moderately wounded and three others were wounded.
Palestinian officials harshly condemned the shooting, saying the 15-year-old was “murdered” while travelling in a car with two brothers and two other teenagers in the occupied West Bank.
Palestine Liberation Organization secretary general Saeb Erekat condemned the shooting in a statement that said the teenagers were returning “from a visit to the only nearby swimming pool.” Erekat said Badran had been “murdered” and called it a “cold-blooded assassination.”
Also Tuesday, the Israeli military demolished the home of a Palestinian who stabbed to death an American tourist attack earlier.
