Israeli Forces Kill 17-Year-Old Palestinian in Nablus Raid
----------------------------------------------------------

In the occupied West Bank, Israeli soldiers have killed another
Palestinian teenager in the city of Nablus. Seventeen-year-old Hamza
al-Ashkar was fatally shot in the face as Israeli forces conducted raids
and dozens of arrests across the West Bank Tuesday. This is al-Ashkar's
grandmother.

Lina al-Ashkar: "My sweetheart, he is still 17 years old. He wanted to
work, because his father is not financially stable. God bless him. He
wanted to work, but he didn't. He died. He couldn't work. My sweetheart,
he died. May he rest in peace."
