Palestinian teen fatally shot in Israeli raid in occupied West Bank, officials say
LA TimesThe body of Amjad Fayyed, 17, is carried above a crowd of mourners during his funeral in the West Bank town of Jenin on Saturday. Israeli troops shot and killed a 17-year-old Palestinian militant as fighting erupted when soldiers entered a volatile town in the occupied West Bank early Saturday, the Palestinian Health Ministry and local media said. The shooting, which Israel said came during a gun battle with local militants, came at a time of intensified Israeli military activity in the northern West Bank town of Jenin in recent months. Local news reports said that clashes erupted outside Jenin’s refugee camp when Israeli forces stormed the area. On May 11, Shireen abu Akleh, a veteran Palestinian American journalist for the Al Jazeera satellite channel, was shot and killed while covering an Israeli military operation in the Jenin camp.
