Israeli forces shoot and kill Palestinian boy
Israeli troops have shot and killed a 12-year-old Palestinian boy during a demonstration in the occupied West Bank.
On Tuesday, the Palestinian Health Ministry announced that Mohiyeh al-Tabakhi "was killed by shots fired by occupation soldiers," in the town of al-Ram located northeast of occupied East al-Quds (Jerusalem).
According to medical sources, the child was hit in the chest by a rubber bullet during clashes with Israeli forces and was pronounced dead after arriving at the Palestine Medical Center.
Following the announcement of the boy’s death scuffles intensified between Palestinians and Israeli soldiers.
Earlier, a Palestinian man, shot and wounded by Israeli forces, succumbed to his injuries. Mustafa Baradiya, who died in hospital on Monday, was shot near the al-Arroub refugee camp located to the north of the city of al-Khalil (Hebron).
The occupied Palestinian territories have been the scene of heightened tensions since August 2015, when Israel imposed restrictions on the entry of Palestinian worshipers into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East al-Quds.
The Palestinians say the Tel Aviv regime seeks to change the status quo of the sacred site.
More than 220 Palestinians have lost their lives at the hands of Israeli forces since the beginning of last October.
