Two Israelis arrested after killing Palestinian teen
Two Israelis were arrested, on Saturday (August 5), after a Palestinian teen was shot dead in the occupied West Bank. According to reports, residents of Palestinian Burqa village said Israeli settlers entered their village Friday night, threw rocks and set fire to cars.

The incident led to the death of a 19-year-old, said the Palestinian Health Ministry.

Meanwhile, the Israeli military-led initial investigation has found that clashes began when Israelis arrived to herd sheep near the village and Palestinians from the town came to move them away, at which point “verbal confrontations ensued which were followed by the hurling of rocks by both sides, and the firing of fireworks by Palestinians,” as quoted by Reuters.

During the confrontation, said the Israeli military, in a statement, “Israeli civilians shot toward the Palestinians.” The altercation resulted in the death of one Palestinian and four others were injured, it added, and a “Palestinian vehicle was found burnt.”
