Israeli troops accused of shooting dead Palestinian protester in Bethlehem

Ofir Gendelman, an Israeli government spokesman, claimed that the toys fit with a trend of incitement to violence in some Palestinian school lessons and television programmes.

Israel has killed 25 Palestinian children since the beginning of the Jerusalem Intifada in early October, a report by the Ministry of Health has revealed. Many of the Palestinian attackers in the past months of bloodshed were from Hebron.

An Israeli army spokesperson had no information of his death, but said that Israeli soldiers had opened fire after Palestinians threw “pipe bombs and Molotov cocktails” at them.

Jarrar is also an outspoken feminist activist who was involved in a Palestinian bid to press for war crimes charges against Israel at the International Criminal Court.

In separate incidents on Thursday, attacks in Jerusalem and the West Bank injured an Israeli policeman, a soldier and a bystander, and two Palestinian alleged attackers were shot dead.

Customs workers at the Haifa port in northern Israel halted the transfer of 4000 dolls to the Palestinian Authority on Tuesday, citing their incendiary nature. But the Palestinians say it is the result of almost half a century of Israeli occupation and dwindling hope for gaining independence.

The 19-year-old is said to have been among a group of people demonstrating against the soldiers, who had arrived to arrest two men – both of whom were reportedly apprehended.

“The Palestinians are continuing to incite their youth, using any means necessary to educate them about violence and hatred”.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s suggestion that Israel needed to become a binational state was rejected by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The wounded man was taken to hospital in Jerusalem in critical condition, medical officials said. Between 2009 and 2013, the a year ago for which there is extensive data, these organizations reported combined revenues of more than $281 million (over one billion shekels).
