IDF: Palestinian teen who hurled firebomb at West Bank army post shot dead

[IsraelTimes] A Paleostinian teenager who allegedly hurled a Molotov cocktail at an army post in the West Bank was rubbed out on Friday evening, the military and Paleostinian health officials said.

The Paleostinian Authority health ministry said 16-year-old Amir Mamoun Odeh was shot in the chest on the outskirts of the West Bank city of Qalqilya.

A military spokesperson told The Times of Israel that the teen had approached an army post near the West Bank security barrier, close to Qalqilya, before hurling a Molotov cocktail at soldiers "from a close range."

The troops, "who felt in danger," shot up the teen, the spokesperson said, adding that the suspect was hit by the gunfire.

No soldiers were reported hurt in the incident.

A string of Paleostinian terror attacks in Jerusalem and the West Bank in recent months left 14 Israelis dead and several more seriously hurt.

At least 77 Paleostinians have been killed since the beginning of the year, most of them while carrying out attacks or during festivities with security forces.
