The military did not immediately comment on the death of 15-year-old Adham Dahman south of Bethlehem.<\/p>\n

Dahman succumbed to his wounds at the Beit Jala Governmental Hospital, where he was rushed late Friday night after being shot by Israeli forces operating in the Dheisheh refugee camp, the PA Health Ministry said.<\/p>\n

According to WAFA, Dahman was shot in the abdomen, and another Palestinian was also hospitalized after being wounded by troops in Dheisheh.<\/p>\n

WAFA also reported that a group of settlers attacked Palestinians near the village of Tayasir, northeast of Tubas. The settlers, who reportedly opened fire at the Palestinians, were said to have been accompanied by IDF soldiers.<\/p>\n

The IDF did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding its involvement in the incident. It was not clear whether there were any casualties.<\/p>\n
