 [IsraelTimes] Army says suspects threw Molotov cocktail at troops; witness claims 17-year-old was shot without cause; is third Paleostinian killed by Israeli forces in 24 hours
Israeli troops shot and killed a 17-year-old Paleostinian near the security barrier in the central West Bank on Thursday afternoon, the Paleostinian Authority Health Ministry said.
In a statement, the Israeli army said "three Paleostinians hurled a Molotov cocktail at Israel Defense Force soldiers." The soldiers responded by shooting at them.
"A hit was identified. There were no injuries to our soldiers," the Israeli military said in a statement.
The Israeli army did not immediately respond to a request for comment as to whether Sadaqa had been the one to throw the Molotov cocktail.
Paleostinian media identified the dead teenager as Odeh Mohammad Sadaqa. Paleostinian health officials said Sadaqa had been shot in the chest before being rushed to Ramallah at death's door.
"Doctors sought to save his life, but he passed away," the PA Health Ministry said in a statement.
Last November, the Israeli military changed the open-fire regulations so as to allow troops to shoot at suspects who hurl Molotov cocktails or rocks, even after the deadly object is no longer in their hands.
Before the change in policy, soldiers had been ordered to refrain from using deadly force once the suspects no longer possessed the threatening object — in other words, when they no longer posed an imminent threat.
A Paleostinian witness disputed the army’s account, claiming that Israeli snipers fired at the group of Paleostinians out of nowhere.
"[Sadaqa] hadn’t reached the area of the wall, or the dangerous area... He was standing by our house when a sniper shot at his heart," the teenager told a cluster of Paleostinian news hounds.
Sadaqa is the third Paleostinian killed in confrontations with the Israeli military over the past 24 hours. Two Paleostinians were killed during West Bank festivities last night — one in Ya’abad, near Jenin, and the other in the Deheishe Refugee Camp near Bethlehem.
Clashes broke out in Ya’abad in the northern West Bank as troops demolished the home of terrorist Diaa Hamarsheh, who killed five people in Bnei Brak in March.
The military said in a statement that "hundreds of rioters threw stones, set fire to tires and threw Molotov cocktails and explosives at the forces."
A fourth Paleostinian, Ghafran Wasarneh, was killed by Israeli forces on Wednesday morning as she sought to commit a stabbing attack near the al-Aroub refugee camp in the West Bank, according to the army.
In addition to the operation in Ya’abad overnight, there were festivities between Paleostinians and Israeli troops in the Dheisheh refugee camp, near the West Bank city of Bethlehem.
Soldiers entered the refugee camp to arrest a man suspected of throwing an bomb at troops during an operation on Sunday, lightly injuring an undercover Border Police officer.
Clashes broke out during the arrest raid and one Paleostinian was killed. He was identified as Ayman Muhaisen, 29.
"During the operation, suspects hurled explosives and threw stones at the forces, who responded with gunfire. Hits were identified," the Israeli army said.
