Palestinians attend funeral of teen shot dead by Israeli forces in West Bank

Palestinians attend the funeral of 16-year-old Qusai Hamamrah in the village of Husan, north of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank.

According to a statement by the Israeli army, soldiers shot the Palestinian suspect who had "hurled a Molotov cocktail" at them, and that troops "used live ammunition in order to stop the immediate threat."

Israel has poured in additional forces in its West Bank operation and is reinforcing its wall and fence barrier with the territory after four deadly attacks have claimed 14 lives in Israel, most of them civilians, in the past three weeks.
