«Israel» Kills another Palestinian Teen amid Tensions over US Deal

By Staff, Agencies

Another Palestinian teenager has been martyred by “Israeli” forces during a protest in the occupied West Bank, which has witnessed a sharp rise in tensions since the US unveiled a contentious Middle East plan.

Palestinian media reported that the 19-year-old victim, identified as Yazan Munther Abu Tabikh, was shot dead in clashes with “Israeli” soldiers in the city of Jenin early on Thursday.

The confrontations erupted after the Tel Aviv regime forces demolished a house belonging to a Palestinian accused of involvement in the killing of an “Israeli” settler.

The fatal shooting came only hours after a 17-year-old Palestinian boy, identified as Mohammad Salman al-Haddad, was shot in the heart and killed as Israeli forces attacked Palestinian protesters in the West Bank city of al-Khalil [Hebron].

Violence has surged in the occupied lands following the release of US President Donald Trump’s self-proclaimed “deal of the century,” which all Palestinian groups have unanimously rejected.

Trump’s Middle East scheme largely meets the “Israeli” entity’s demands in the decades-old conflict while creating a Palestinian state with limited control over its own security and borders.

It also enshrines al-Quds [Jerusalem] as the “Israeli” entity’s so-called “undivided capital” and allows the regime to annex settlements in the occupied West Bank and the Jordan Valley.

The proposal further denies the right of return of Palestinian refugees into their homeland, among other controversial terms.
