RAMALLAH, An 18-year-old Palestinian teenager identified as Musab Mohammad Nafal was shot dead by Israeli occupation forces tonight near the town of Sinjil in the occupied West Bank province of Ramallah, according to medical sources.

The Ministry of Health said Nafal had been critically injured by a live Israeli bullet in the heart, and was rushed to Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah where he was pronounced dead of his wound.
