Palestinian teen killed by Zionist aggressors
(MENAFN- Arab News)RAMALLAH: Israel's military shot dead a 13-year-old Palestinian boy on Monday at a refugee camp near Bethlehem as anti-Palestinian measures sparked fresh clashes in the West Bank.
The teen was hit in the chest making him the second Palestinian killed by Israeli fire in 24 hours.
The spike in violence in the West Bank and east Jerusalem has led to international calls for calm with concerns the unrest could spin out of control and memories of previous Palestinian uprisings still fresh.
As part of security measures following the recent attacks Jerusalem's Old City remained closed to Palestinians for a second straight day.
On Sunday night an 18-year-old Palestinian was killed during clashes in Tulkarem in the West Bank. Dozens of others have been wounded.
'He is not the first martyr nor will he be the last but he died for his homeland' his father Othman Suleiman told AFP at his son's funeral on Monday attended by hundreds.
Palestinian youths throwing stones and firebombs have faced off against Israeli security forces using both live rounds and rubber bullets. Jewish settlers have also clashed with Palestinians.
The rioting has followed three attacks in recent days that have killed four Israelis and wounded several others including a two-year-old child.
Late Sunday Netanyahu pledged 'a fight to the death against Palestinian terror' after meeting security chiefs immediately following his return from the US.
Netanyahu facing pressure from right-wing members of his governing coalition to respond forcefully announced a package of new measures 'to prevent terror and deter and punish the attackers.'
They included swifter demolition of the homes of those accused of attacks broader use of detention without trial for suspects and police and troop reinforcements for Jerusalem and the West Bank.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas who said in a UN speech last week that he was no longer bound by previous accords with Israel accused the Israeli government of escalating tensions.
