U.S. teen fatally shot in West Bank by Israeli forces, Palestinian officials say

A Palestinian-American teenager was shot and killed Friday by Israeli troops within the West Financial institution, Palestinian officers advised Reuters.

The 17-year-old boy was shot throughout clashes with Israeli forces, the sufferer’s uncle advised Reuters.

A State Division spokesperson would solely affirm to CBS Information {that a} U.S. citizen had died within the West Financial institution, including that “we’re working to know the circumstances of the incident and have requested the federal government of Israel for additional data.”

In response to Wafa, the Palestinian Nationwide Authority’s official information company, the boy was shot within the head.

Wafa reported that the taking pictures occurred in a small Palestinian city east of Ramallah.

Tensions within the West Financial institution have surged since Hamas launched its bloody Oct. 7 terrorist assault on southern Israel, sparking the Israel-Hamas struggle.
