Israeli troops shoot dead Palestinian on Gaza border: Gaza ministry

GAZA CITY, Palestinian Territories, Nov 29, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Israeli forces shot dead a Palestinian teen near the Gaza border Friday, the health ministry in the Hamas-run enclave said.

Fahd al-Astal, 16, died after being shot in the stomach east of Khan Yunis in southern Gaza, with four other Palestinians wounded, it said.

The circumstances of the shooting were unclear, with weekly border protests officially cancelled. The Israeli army said it was looking into the incident.
