A 15-year-old Palestinian was killed by Israeli fire in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, the Palestinian health ministry said, in an exchange the Israeli army described as a gunbattle.
The Palestinian health ministry said Imad Khaled Saleh Hashash died after sustaining a gunshot wound to the head.
A statement from the Israeli army, which did not mention the dead teenager, said troops were apprehending a suspect in Balata refugee camp near Nablus and “responded with live fire” to a threat.
