New clashes have erupted in the occupied West Bank as part of an Israeli crackdown over the kidnapping of three teenagers. At least one Palestinian teenager was killed today when Israeli soldiers opened fire near Hebron. On Thursday, Israeli forces traded gunfire with armed Palestinians in the town of Jenin, leaving three Palestinians wounded. At least 300 Palestinians have been detained in Israel’s week-long search for the teens, who were kidnapped while hitchhiking from a Jewish settlement. No group has claimed responsibility, but the Israeli government has blamed Hamas. On Thursday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on the Palestinian Authority to sever its recent unity deal with Hamas leaders.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “It is an organization that is designated as a terror organization by many countries, and it is a terror organization that is committed to Israel’s destruction. I expect President Abbas to dissolve the union with this murderous terrorist organization. I think that’s important for our common future.”
