Israeli soldiers killed, late on Wednesday at night a Palestinian teen, and injured at least two others, in Deir Abu Mashal town, west of Ramallah, in central West Bank.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said it was informed that Mohammad Damer Matar, 16, succumbed to wounds he had sustained from Israeli gunfire.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said its medics provided the needed treatment to two Palestinians; one of them suffered a moderate-but-stable injury, and the second suffered mild wounds, before they were rushed to Palestine Medical Complex In Ramallah. Their condition was stable, the ministry reassured.
Head of Deir Abu Mashal Village Council Imad Zahran said that Matar was arrested by the Israeli military after getting injured. His body remains withheld by the Israeli military, he added.
Meanwhile, an Israeli military spokesperson said that soldiers on Wednesday had "spotted a cell, whose members were carrying flammable materials used to prepare firebombs near the Palestinian village of village of Deir Abu Mashaal".
The village is near a road used by settlers to reach their settlements in the West Bank. These roads usually witness clashes where Palestinians throw stones on the army and settlers while they attack Palestinian passers-by in their turn.
