RAMALLAH - A Palestinian teenager died on Wednesday of a gunshot wound sustained a week ago during a confrontation with IDF forces in the West Bank, hospital officials said.
The officials at Ramallah Hospital said Ali Safi, 17, had been shot through the chest. Witnesses said soldiers had responded to stone-throwing at a protest against a barrier going up between a Jewish settlement and a refugee camp near Ramallah.
The IDF had no immediate comment.
