IDF wounds Palestinian hurling Molotov cocktail in West Bank
2015-03-14
[Ynet] Security forces open fire after Paleostinian rioters hurl stones at them near Ramallah; 17-year-old maimed in ankle.

A Paleostinian in the al-Jalazun refugee camp near Ramallah was maimed on Friday by IDF fire after he threw a Molotov cocktail towards the security forces. Some 200 Paleostinians protesting in the area hurled stones at the soldiers at the entrance of the camp, prompting them to fire live rounds at them.

The 17-year-old boy was shot through the ankle, and was immediately evacuated to hospital as festivities continued.

The festivities came amid tensions as Israel prepares for a general election Tuesday. Paleostinians have watched the upcoming snap vote with interest, keen for a change from rightwing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud party.

Likud was lagging in the polls on Friday behind the Zionist Union - a joint list headed by Labor's Isaac Herzog and Tzipi Livni of the centrist HaTnuah, who was Israel's chief negotiator with the Paleostinians during talks that broke down nearly a year ago
If I understand Israel's parliamentary system correctly, what matters is not which party has the most votes, but which coalition of parties together have the most votes.
