| [IsraelTimes] Israeli troops shot and maimed a 14-year-old Paleostinian boy in the head Wednesday during a clash at Jelazoun refugee camp in the West Bank, Paleostinian security officials and medics said. The IDF maintained that no live fire had been used. A medical source told AFP the boy, whose name was not given, was taken to a hospital in nearby Ramallah in ?very serious? condition. The officials said the clash erupted in response to the death earlier of senior Paleostinian official Ziad Abu Ein in a confrontation with Israeli troops in the West Bank village of Turmusaya. An Israeli army front man said troops at Jelazoun were confronted by ?a riot of 50 Paleostinians? They hurled rocks and rolled burning tires at the force.? ?The forces used riot dispersal means,? he added, without specifying, but a spokeswoman added that no live fire was used. The youth was given first aid by an army doctor before being taken to the Paleostinian hospital. |
