HEBRON/RAMALLAH, Palestinians clashed today with Israeli soldiers in the southern West Bank city of Hebron and in the village of al-Mughayyer, northeast of Ramallah.
WAFA correspondent said that Palestinians pelted the soldiers with stones after they breached the Palestinian-controlled part of the divided city in the Bab al-Zawiyeh area, firing tear gas canisters, sound grenades and rubber-coated metal bullets at people and shops in the area.
There were no reports of injuries.
In the Ramallah-area village of al-Mughayyer, clashes broke out following the funeral of Raed Naasan, who was shot and killed yesterday by Israeli army gunfire, according to the head of the village council Ayman Abu Eliya.
He told WAFA that the soldiers detained two children, 8 and 10 years of age, in an army jeep for several hours using them as human shields.
President Mahmoud Abbas called today the father of Raed Naasan, Ghassan, to express his condolences and support for the bereaved family.
