2 Palestine youths shot dead by Israel army
Print Edition
The Israeli army said troops shot dead two Palestinian teenagers who were throwing stones at cars in the occupied West Bank yesterday after coming under fire from one of them.
In a separate incident, a Palestinian tried to stab an Israeli paramilitary policeman at a checkpoint in the West Bank, near Jerusalem, and was shot dead, police said.
Israeli soldiers have killed at least 161 Palestinians, 105 of whom Israel says were assailants, while the others were shot dead during violent anti-Israeli protests, as the bloodshed persists into a fifth month.
Stabbings, shootings and car rammings by Palestinians have killed 27 Israelis and a US citizen since early October.
In yesterday鈥檚 shooting near the West Bank city of Jenin, 鈥渢wo assailants hurled rocks at cars,鈥 a military statement said. 鈥淔orces arrived and were fired upon by an assailant. Soldiers responded and shot the attackers, resulting in their deaths.鈥
The Palestinian Health Ministry said two 15-year-old Palestinians were killed.
Wassef Abu Baker, a 56-year-old local resident, said that after hearing gunshots, he drove to within 40 meters of where one of the teenagers was lying on the ground.
鈥淗e was still moving. The soldier shouted at me to move back and they fired at him 鈥 maybe it was 12 bullets,鈥 he said.
Abu Baker said he could not see whether the person on the ground was armed.
