Palestinian teen killed in clashes

A Palestinian teenager was killed during clashes with the Israeli military Friday.

A relative identified the boy as Orwah Hammad, 14, and said he was born in New Orleans and came to the West Bank at age 6. His cousin Moath said he was among a group of Palestinians who were throwing rocks at Israeli soldiers amid heightened tensions in Jerusalem and the West Bank.

Earlier in the week, a Palestinian drove his car into a Jerusalem train station, killing a 3-month-old. - AP
