AL MUGHAYYER, West Bank (Reuters): An Israeli soldier shot dead a 16-year-old Palestinian near a road leading to a Jewish settlement in the occupied West Bank on Friday (July 29), Palestinian officials said, and the army said it had opened fire to protect motorists from rioters.
Witnesses said the incident, east of the hub city of Ramallah, also involved face-offs in open fields between settlers, at least one of whom was armed, and Palestinians, with some on either side lobbing rocks at the other.
