Tel Aviv [Israel], July 24 (ANI/Xinhua): A Palestinian teenager was killed and dozens were injured on Friday in clashes between Palestinian protesters and Israeli soldiers in the West Bank.

The Palestinian health ministry said in a statement that Mohammed Tamimi, 17 years old, was killed in the clashes at Nabi Saleh village northwest of the West Bank city of Ramallah. On Friday, clashes broke out in several West Bank towns and cities during Palestinian protests against Israeli settlement and confiscation of Palestinian lands.

Eyewitnesses said that the fiercest clashes took place between dozens of Palestinians and Israeli soldiers at the villages of Beita and Beit Dajan south of the northern West Bank city of Nablus. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said that a total of 320 Palestinian protesters were injured by Israeli soldiers all over the West Bank after the soldiers fired live ammunition, rubber bullets and teargas canisters.

Meanwhile, Israeli media reported that two Israeli soldiers were injured in the clashes near Nablus. (ANI/Xinhua)

The article doesn’t specify whether that teenager was part of the group of protesters. Nevertheless, one can’t blame the Israeli soldiers for acting in self-defense against the violence and aggression of the Palestinian protesters. Even if the said teenager was not involved in the violent protest, the Palestinian protesters will have to be held responsible for his death because it was their reckless aggression that caused the Israeli soldiers to retaliate in self-defense. If the Palestinians are serious about finding a solution to the Israel-Palestine problem then they must relinquish violence and engage in peaceful negotiations with the Israelis. The Palestinians must realize that their financial backers have their own hidden agendas with the ultimate aim of ensuring that the Palestinians stay in a perpetual state of war with Israel. These backers don’t care about the number of casualties sustained by the Palestinians. All they care about is to make sure that Israel remains unstable at all times.
