| [PRESSTV] A Paleostinian teenager has been killed by Israeli soldiers during protests near the fence between the besieged Gazoo Strip and the occupied territories. Paleostinians sources quoted the Gazoo Health Ministry as saying that Ahmed Abu Habel, 15, was shot in the head by Israeli forces near a checkpoint in the Beit Hanoun area of the northern Gazoo Strip on Wednesday. Some 24 people were also injured during the festivities, according to the ministry.
The Israel Defense Forces said approximately 1,000 Paleostinians took part in riots along the border, spread out among a few locations. According to an army spokesperson, the Paleostinians threw makeshift bombs and rocks at soldiers on the other side of the fence, who retaliated with riot dispersal weapons, like tear gas, as well as live fire, "in accordance with the rules of engagement." The spokesperson said she was aware of the reports of al-Qudra’s death, but could not confirm that the IDF was responsible for it. Paleostinian media reported that an additional 15 people had been injured by Israeli fire during the protests. No Israeli soldiers were reported injured.
