Israeli forces in the West Bank fatally shot a teenager in the back as he threw stones at Israeli troops who entered the village. This attack was a part of the violence raging for months.
Since the start of this year, 64 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, about half of them militants, according to a tally by The Associated Press. Palestinian attacks against Israelis have killed 14 Israelis during that same time.
The 2015 attack on the village of Duma in the West Bank killed 18-month-old Ali Dawabsheh and his parents, Riham and Saad, and drew condemnation from across Israel’s political spectrum. Months after the attack, a video from a wedding that aired on Israeli television appeared to show guests at a weddingand dancing to music with lyrics calling for revenge, while some stabbed photos of Ali.
The four suspects were minors at the time of the wedding and acquitted by a juvenile court, according to Israeli media. Prosecutors appealed that decision, resulting in Thursday’s conviction in Jerusalem’s district court.
