Israeli soldiers kill 18-year-old Palestinian in West Bank

An 18-year-old Palestinian teenager was shot to death by Israeli forces in the al-Mughayyir village north of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.

The settlers had attacked the village hours before the killing of the teenager, identified as Hamdan Mussa Mohammed Abu Alia by the ministry.

Israeli forces stormed a village, shot Abu Alia in the back, and detained him while he was injured, Quds News Network reported. He later died of his injuries in a hospital.
