Israeli forces shoot, kill Palestinian teen south of Hebron

Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian teenager in the Hebron district on Wednesday, security and medical sources said.

The sources said the 15-year-old was attempting to cross Israel's separation wall near the southernmost West Bank area of al-Ramadin when Israeli forces shot him dead.

Israeli troops gave him no warning before shooting him, the sources said.

Israeli forces have yet to deliver his body.

Witnesses said the victim had been foraging for local plants when he was shot, but the army claimed he and two others had been vandalising the security fence.

It would be terrible story if true but since it comes from a Maan at this stage it needs to be treated as if it's a fabrication...
Until it's cross referenced.

Israeli forces Wednesday shot and killed a 16-year-old Palestinian from the village of Deir Al-Assal to the south of Hebron, according to activist Rateb al-Jabour of the anti-settlement and wall committee in southern Hebron.

He said army forces fired a live bullet at Yousif Shawamreh, 16, killing him instantly, while he was near the apartheid wall in the village of Ramadin. He was transferred to a hospital in Beersheba.
