March 2, 2006
NABLUS, West Bank (Reuters) – An Israeli sniper killed a
Palestinian youth on Friday during a West Bank raid by troops
looking for militants, Palestinian medics said.
They said the 15-year-old, Amer Bassyouni, was shot in the
neck and died from his wounds as Israeli forces searched for
militants in the Alamin refugee camp in the West Bank city of
Nablus.
The army said it was checking the report.
Palestinian security sources said the youth had been seen
next to his house as Israeli forces raided the area.
Israeli forces frequently raid West Bank towns searching
for wanted militants.
