Slain Palestinian identified as 18-year-old from Jalazone

Wafa news agency has identified the Palestinian killed earlier on Friday in the Jalazone refugee camp north of Ramallah as 18-year-old Mahmoud Yousef Nakhla, who was shot by Israeli forces in the abdomen and succumbed to his wounds in hospital.

Other news outlets, however, reported that Nakhla was 15 years old.

According to the Palestinian Red Crescent, at least six other Palestinians have been wounded by rubber-coated steel bullets and dozens have suffered from excessive tear gas inhalation in the Ramallah area.
