A Palestinian teenager was shot dead as Israeli soldiers fired at stone-throwers in the West Bank town of Tulkarem, Palestinian security sources said.

They said Yussef Yahia (16) was part of a group of Palestinian youths throwing stones at soldiers, who earlier imposed a curfew on Tulkarem to search for wanted Palestinian militants.

According to Israeli military officials, the teenager was killed after throwing two petrol bombs at soldiers, who opened fire as he prepared to hurl a third.

Palestinian medical sources said a Palestinian man seriously wounded in an Israeli air strike on April 8th in Gaza City died today in hospital.
