A 14-year-old Palestinian boy was shot dead by Israeli soldiers in the West Bank village of Husan, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, amid a series of violent incidents and clashes across the territory overnight.
The ministry named the boy as Qusai Hamamrah. The Israeli army said he threw a Molotov cocktail at soldiers. "IDF soldiers used live ammunition in order to stop the immediate threat, in accordance with the open fire regulations. A hit was identified. No IDF injuries were reported," the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement.
Elsewhere in the West Bank, a 20-year-old Palestinian man was shot dead during clashes in Silwad, the health ministry said. It named him as Omar Alyan and said he had been shot in the chest. At least five others were treated with injuries from live fire, the ministry reported. Video on social media showed significant unrest in Silwad Wednesday night, with hundreds of people throwing rocks at Israeli military vehicles driving through the town.
