| [IsraelTimes] In response to reports earlier today by the Palestinian Health Ministry that Israeli forces killed two individuals in separate incidents in the West Bank, including a 15-year-old boy in Ramallah, the IDF issues statements addressing both cases. Regarding the incident in Ramallah, the military says that during an overnight operation in the central West Bank, several suspects hurled stones at Israeli troops. In response, soldiers fired warning shots into the air. No Israeli forces were injured, and the incident is under investigation. Life lesson: Don’t throw stones at people with guns, because guns throw bullets back much harder. In a separate incident near the town of Ramadin, southwest of Dhahiriya, the IDF says troops identified a suspect attempting to cross the security barrier overnight and opened fire in accordance with the rules of engagement. The IDF says the suspect was struck, and the incident is currently under further investigation.According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, 15-year-old Amjad Nassar Abu Awad was killed in Ramallah, and 24-year-old Samer Bassam Zagharneh was killed near Dhahiriya.
