Israeli soldiers fired on Palestinian stone-throwers today in the West Bank city of Nablus, killing a 17-year-old.
Residents of Nablus, which has been under curfew for more than 100 days, said soldiers, who had often allowed children to attend unofficial classes at nearby schools despite the curfew, ordered the students back home, prompting stone-throwing clashes.
Palestinian witnesses and medics said Ammar Rajab, was the second Palestinian to be killed in the West Bank in as many days.
Palestinian medics said Rajab was shot in the head as soldiers fired on the stone-throwers. Witnesses said two other youths, aged 13 and 16, were wounded.
