Ramallah, MINA – Israeli occupation forces killed a Palestinian young man in a village northeastern Ramallah, KUNA reported, quoting Palestinian health ministry on Tuesday.

Haitham Abu AlNaaim, 16, was shot in the head during a confrontation between dozen of Palestinian youngsters and Israeli forces in Al-Mughayyir village, the ministry said in a press statement.

AlNaaim died of his wounds after arriving in Ramallah state hospital, added the statement.

US President Donald Trump’s declaration of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital on January 6 has sparked a global outrage and escalated clashes between the Palestinians and Israeli forces, in which large number of Palestinians were killed and wounded as a result. (T/RS5/RS1)
