Palestinians bury teen shot by Israeli troops during search for shooter
Palestinians buried on Thursday a 16-year-old Palestinian teen who was fatally shot by Israeli troops during clashes in the occupied West Bank.
According to Palestinian officials, 16-year-old Said Odeh died after being shot in the back twice during an Israeli army raid on Wednesday.
An ambulance was prevented for 15 minutes from accessing Odeh, who was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said two others were also wounded by Israeli gunfire, one of them critically.
Israel has tightened restrictions on Palestinian worshippers in Jerusalem al-Quds since the start of Ramadan, sparking a hike in tensions across the occupied West Bank.
Israeli forces have cracked down on protests against the curbs, leaving dozens of Palestinians injured.
The Israeli security agency, also known as Shin Bet, said on Thursday it had arrested a Palestinian suspect over the shooting, identifying him as a 44-year-old resident of the Palestinian village of Turmus Ayya.
