DHEISHEH REFUGEE CAMP: Palestinians lined a narrow lane in the occupied West Bank’s Dheisheh refugee camp Saturday as they laid to rest a teenager shot dead by Israeli forces, with the military saying its troops had fired in response to a threat.
The Ramallah-based Palestinian health ministry identified the 15-year-old as Adham Sayed Saleh Dahman, who died a day earlier from “serious wounds caused by Israeli forces’ gunfire,” according to the Palestinian news agency Wafa.
Wafa reported that he was killed during a military operation on Friday evening in the camp south of Bethlehem.
Dahman was shot in the abdomen, the report said, noting that another Palestinian was also wounded in the incident.
“He wanted to work to help me buy a house,” his mother, Hanan Shaalan, told AFP.
