A Palestinian-American teenager was killed by Israeli security forces on Friday in the occupied West Bank, Palestinian health officials said.

The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The American-born youth was 17-years-old, the boy's uncle told Reuters, adding that the incident occurred during clashes with the Israeli military that included stone-throwing by Palestinians.

The Palestinian official news agency WAFA said the youth had been killed by Israeli gunfire.

Yemen's Houthis Fire Missile Toward Israel, which Israeli Military Intercepts

Yemen's Houthis Fire Missile Toward Israel, which Israeli Military Intercepts

Yemen's Houthi militias launched a missile early Sunday toward Israel, which the Israeli military said it shot down.
Sirens sounded in parts of Israel around the Dead Sea over the attack, which the Houthis did not immediately claim.
“The missile was intercepted prior to crossing into Israeli territory,” the Israeli military said.
American airstrikes, meanwhile, continued targeting the Houthis overnight into Sunday, part of an intense campaign targeting the militias that began on March 15.
The US is targeting the Houthis because of the group’s attacks on shipping in the Red Sea, a crucial global trade route, and on Israel.
