RAMALLAH: Two Palestinians were killed for alleged stabbing attacks in Hebron and Occupied Jerusalem on Saturday.
An Israeli settler shot and killed a Palestinian teenager Saturday morning on Hebron's Shuhada Street in the occupied West Bank, locals said.
The settler shot the boy near the illegal Israeli settlement outpost Beit Haddassah. The boy laid motionless on the ground as Israeli soldiers tried to resuscitate him.
Paramedics of the Palestinian Red Crescent arrived but Israeli soldiers didn't allow them to access the young man. The soldiers then covered the young man's face then took him in an ambulance to unknown destination, Palestinian Ma'an news agency reported.
An Israeli army spokesperson told Ma'an that a Palestinian had tried to stab the Israeli settler when the settler "opened live fire on the assailant," killing him. No injuries were reported.
Shortly after, a 16-year-old Palestinian was shot dead in occupied East Jerusalem, also for attempting an attack.
The teen reportedly attempted to stab the officer in Armon Hanatziv settlement, according to Israeli police spokesperson Micky Rosenfeld. Police responded at the scene, when the suspect was shot and killed.
Yesterday marked another day of intense clashes between the Israeli forces and Palestinians. Five Palestinians died and at least 150 were injured by the Israeli occupation forces live ammunition and rubber-coated bullets in the occupied West Bank and in the Gaza Strip.
