Israeli Forces Kill Palestinian-American Teen in West Bank Shooting 
--------------------------------------------------------------------


 
A Palestinian American has been killed in the latest shooting of a young
teenager by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank. The victim,
14-year old Orwah Hammad, was shot in the head in the village of Silwad.
Hundreds of people marched Saturday after his funeral. The killing comes
days after a Palestinian man slammed his car into a group of Israelis in
Jerusalem, killing an infant and wounding eight others. That attack
followed the running over and killing of a five-year-old Palestinian
girl by an Israeli settler in the West Bank. The Israeli military ruled
the death an accident.
