- Story Text: Palestinians held funeral procession on Wednesday (May 13) for a teen killed by Israeli soldiers in Al Fawar refugee camp in the occupied West Bank.
Early on Wednesday, Israeli forces killed the teenager during a raid near the West Bank city of Hebron, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.
The Israeli military said soldiers responded with live fire and "riot dispersal means" after Palestinians threw rocks and firebombs at them during an arrest operation and that one soldier was slightly wounded.
The incident happened hours before the arrival of U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to Israel.
A day earlier, a Palestinian stone-thrower killed an Israeli soldier who was taking part in an arrest raid near Jenin city.
