Palestinians say West Bank teen killed in clashes with IDF troops
[IsraelTimes] Army says soldiers were attacked with IEDs, Molotov cocktails and stones during raid in Deheishe refugee camp near Bethlehem; incident under investigation

A Paleostinian teen was killed during festivities with Israeli forces in a West Bank refugee camp outside of Bethlehem early Monday morning, according to Paleostinian reports.

The military said riots broke out while troops were conducting an arrest raid in the the Deheishe refugee camp, with residents "throwing improvised bombs, Molotov cocktails and stones" at the soldiers.

An army spokesperson said the troops responded with live fire and other riot control methods, including 0.22-caliber Ruger rounds, which are meant to be less lethal at close range.

The teenager was identified by the official Paleostinian news service Wafa as Thaer Mazhar, 15, from Deheishe.
According to An Nahar, the Palestinian health ministry named him as Arkan Mizher, 15. Very probably both those names are true, and more, besides.
It said two others were maimed during the fighting.

in the raids in Deheishe. The Israel Defense Forces said a lathe used to make guns was also found in the camp.

A video posted online showed the teen lying on the ground and being carried away.

According to Wafa, the Paleostinian teenager was shot in the chest and taken to the hospital in nearby Beit Jala, where he was pronounced dead.

The military said it was aware of the reports that a Paleostinian was killed.

"An investigation has been opened," the army spokesperson said.

Six other Paleostinian suspects were arrested in raids across the West Bank in the predawn hours of Monday morning, according to the IDF.

The suspects were handed over to the Shin Bet security service for questioning.
