A 17-year-old Palestinian boy was shot dead by Israeli forces in the West Bank city of Jenin on Monday, making him the fourth Palestinian to be killed by Israeli soldiers in two days.
Identified as Mohammed Zakarneh, he was shot on Sunday as Israeli troops were targeting relatives of Raad Hazem, the 28-year-old man from Jenin who on Thursday killed three Israelis at a bar in Tel Aviv before he was shot dead following a large manhunt.
The Israeli army said it had demanded that the father of Hazem hand himself in, ahead of the planned demolition of the family home, a punitive measure that human rights groups like B’Tselem say is tantamount to collective punishment.
