STORYLINE:
Hundreds attended a funeral procession in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday after a Palestinian teenager was killed by Israeli troops during an army raid earlier in the day.
The death was the latest in an almost year-long surge in Israeli-Palestinian violence that shows no signs of abating.
Israeli military said it carried out raids across the occupied West Bank overnight, and that during an operation in the Faraa refugee camp, a person approached troops with an explosive device. The army said that soldiers shot the person dead.
The official Palestinian news agency, Wafa, reported that local residents clashed with Israeli soldiers, who shot at them.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said that Mahmoud Al-Aydi, 17, died from a bullet wound to the head.
Tensions have mounted for months as Israel has conducted nightly arrest raids in the West Bank, which were prompted by a spate of Palestinian attacks on Israelis last spring. Some 30 people were killed in Israel by Palestinians in 2022, and at least 12 others died in attacks so far in 2023.
Nearly 150 Palestinians were killed last year in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, making it the deadliest year in those areas since 2004, according to figures by the Israeli rights group B’Tselem. At least 48 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli troops since the start of this year.
