Ramallah, January 5 (RHC)-- In the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces shot and killed Palestinian Musab Tamimi during a protest near Ramallah, making the 17-year-old the first teenager to be killed by Israel in 2018.
Tamimi was also the 16th Palestinian to be killed in demonstrations since U.S. President Donald Trump declared last month that the U.S. would recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Witnesses say Tamimi was unarmed when he was shot in the neck.
Musab Tamimi was a relative of another Palestinian teenager, 16-year-old Ahed Tamimi, who is in Israeli custody awaiting trial before a military court after she was filmed in a viral video slapping an Israeli soldier.
