Set off fireworks, Israeli forces kill Palestinian teenager

Palestinian news agency Wafa identified the teenager as Rami Hamdan Al-Halhouli, a resident of the Shuafat refugee camp in Jerusalem, and said he died of his wounds in a hospital after being seriously wounded by gunfire.

According to police, a violent riot broke out in Shuafat on Tuesday evening, with rioters throwing Molotov cocktails and firing fireworks directly at security forces. Police said they deployed additional Border Police forces to the area after similar clashes the night before, amid high tensions at the start of Ramadan, in the shadow of the ongoing war in Gaza.

Police said the suspect was caught, arrested and sent for medical treatment. He was then pronounced dead. "Anyone who endangers the security forces, endangers his life," Israeli police said.
