HEBRON, Palestine 

A Palestinian teenager was shot dead by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, the Health Ministry said.

A ministry statement said Moamen Yassin Jaber, 17, was shot in the chest by Israeli forces in Hebron city and died of his wounds.

The new fatality came hours after Israeli forces killed three Palestinians, including activist Ibrahim al-Nabulsi, in a raid in Nablus city early Tuesday.

Palestinians staged rallies in the West Bank on Tuesday to protest the killings amid clashes with Israeli forces.

At least 45 Palestinians were killed in three days of Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip last week. The attacks came to a halt under an Egyptian-brokered cease-fire on Sunday.
