In Israel and the Occupied Territories, clashes have erupted in the West Bank city of Hebron following the shooting death by Israeli soldiers of a Palestinian teen. Mohammed Salayma was shot up to six times at an Israeli military checkpoint after Israeli soldiers said he brandished a fake gun. But Palestinians say Salayma was killed after failing to heed Israeli orders to halt because he was hard of hearing. Salayma’s death fell on his 17th birthday. A widely circulated photograph taken hours before his slaying shows him smiling as he poses next to a birthday cake at school. Hours after the shooting, Israeli forces fired tear gas at Palestinian youths who threw stones and bottles in response. At least five Palestinians were hospitalized with injuries.
