Spokesman of Hamas movement in Gaza, Sami Abu Zuhri, said in an emailed press statement that his movement condemns the Israeli army escalation against the Palestinians in the refugee camp.
People have attended a funeral procession for a Palestinian teenager who was shot dead by Israeli forces in fresh scuffles at a refugee camp in the occupied West Bank. The military said soldiers fired at the main instigators with live fire and rubber bullets.
The leader of one cell was 18-year-old Mustafa Kamal Hindi from Qalqilya.
A new video that appears to show Israeli soldiers throwing a stun grenade at a group of Palestinians has emerged online. Camp lockdowns and other restrictions lead to tensions between Israeli forces and residents.
The Israeli authorities, for their part, have yet to comment on Tuesday’s clashes.
Since October, Palestinians, many of them acting alone and with rudimentary weapons, have killed at least 33 Israelis and two visiting Americans. Hindi told interrogators that he had been recruited through a Facebook page called “Palestine is Free”, which featured anti-Israel and pro-terror propaganda.

In a related development Tuesday, Israeli bulldozers razed eight Palestinian tinplate houses in the town of Seir north of Hebron, claiming they were built without permission, according to local residents. But Israel only grants a negligible number of permits to Palestinians who apply for them in areas of the West Bank where the Israeli military has full control. Others died during clashes and protests.
