We’ve been covering an Israeli attack that killed a 14-year-old Palestinian-American boy and wounded two others near the town of Turmus Aya in the occupied West Bank.
The Israeli military has confirmed the attack.
It said its forces shot “terrorists” hurling rocks in the area.
“During a counterterrorism activity in the area of Turmus Aya, [Israeli] soldiers identified three terrorists who hurled rocks towards the highway, thus endangering civilians driving,” the statement from the military read.
“The soldiers opened fire towards the terrorists who were endangering civilians, eliminating one terrorist and hitting two additional terrorists.”
The Palestinian Foreign Ministry also issued a statement on the attack.
It said the “execution” of the child was a “direct result of Israel’s continued impunity”.
two people have been killed in the Israeli raid near the city of Deir el-Balah.
The attack comes as Israel pounds central and south Gaza, three weeks after it resumed the war on the Strip.
Palestinian officials say more than 1,000 people have been killed since March 18. Most of the victims are women and children.
Israeli forces arrested a former prisoner and a girl from the Jalazone refugee camp near the city of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.
Another former prisoner was also taken from his home in the city of Hebron.
Two young men were detained in a separate raid in the city of Qalandiya, north of occupied East Jerusalem.
