Israeli Forces Kill West Bank Palestinian Teen, After Fatal Shooting of Palestinian in Jerusalem
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the occupied West Bank, Israeli soldiers shot dead a 16-year-old
Palestinian after he allegedly drove his car into a military checkpoint.
The teen was identified as Mohammad Nidal Younis.

This comes as human rights advocates are condemning the killing of a
Palestinian man, shot dead by Israeli police after he stabbed an Israeli
settler in occupied East Jerusalem. Al Jazeera reports footage by
bystanders showed police continuing to shoot Mohammad Salima from
point-blank range, even after the 25-year-old had been knocked to the
ground, and no longer appeared to pose a threat.
