Israeli army kills Palestinian teen in one of the worst clashes to break out in the West Bank in 20 years

On Thursday, suspects in the West Bank threw explosives and opened fire on the Israeli military. The army responded by returning fire, killing a 19-year-old Palestinian.

Thursday's shooting took place as Israeli forces escorted Israeli worshippers, including the Israeli police chief and the head of the local Jewish settler council, to a site known as the biblical Joseph’s Tomb in the Palestinian city of Nablus.

The shrine has long been a flashpoint for clashes between Palestinians and Israeli troops. Nablus has also become a central point of violence in the current escalation.
