Israeli forces have killed a Palestinian boy near Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank, where the army said they opened fire after people threw molotov cocktails. Omar Khmour, 14, was shot in the head early on Monday in the Dheisheh refugee camp in the southern West Bank and “succumbed to his wounds”, the Palestinian ministry said.
The Israeli military said troops opened fire after “suspects hurled rocks, explosive devices and molotov cocktails at the soldiers”.One person was arrested by troops in Dheisheh, the Palestinian Prisoners Club advocacy group said. The official Palestinian news agency Wafa said the army entered the camp “at dawn and launched a campaign of raids on citizens’ homes”.Archie Bland and Nimo Omer take you through the top stories and what they mean, free every weekday morningNewsletters may contain info about charities, online ads, and content funded by outside parties.
