Youth shot and injured in Abu Dis clashes, seven others detained

JERUSALEM, A Palestinian today evening was shot and injured and seven others were detained during clashes that broke out with Israeli forces in the town of Abu Dis, southeast of the occupied city of Jerusalem, according to local sources.

Clashes broke out in the town of Abu Dis following a military incursion into the town, during which forces fired live and rubber-coated steel bullets, tear gas canisters, and stun grenades at the town residents, shooting and injuring a youth in the face with a rubber bullet.

Forces reportedly detained seven people after they cordoned off a building in the town.

A 16-year-old Palestinian boy was last night killed by Israeli army gunfire in the town of Abu Dis.

Yamen Jaffal was shot and killed by Israeli occupation forces apparently in cold blood. The soldiers, who prevented Palestinian medics from approaching him, took his body away and later informed the Palestinian side that he was dead.
