JERUSALEM — Israeli soldiers shot and killed a Palestinian teenager Tuesday near Israel’s separation barrier in the West Bank, Palestinians said, in the latest of several fatal shootings in recent days near fences in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
The shooting at Budrus, west of Ramallah, occurred when a group of high-school students, out walking after first-semester final exams, approached the fence that runs outside the village, according to reports from the scene.
Comments
Is it credible that these Palestinian teens were simply "out walking" when the shooting occurred? Perhaps they had wire cutters in their hands. This WaPo dispatch is written from a Palestinian perspective. I doubt that Mr. Greenberg was on the scene. He must have written this story using material supplied by a Palestinian Authority "journalist."
