      IDF Refuses to Comment on Report of Arab Teen Death


      The IDF Spokesperson's Office continues to refuse to confirm numerous media reports that a 14-year-old Palestinian Authority Arab boy was killed by IDF fire in a riot by Arabs in Hevron Sunday.

      An IDF spokeswoman told Arutz-7's Israel National News, "We're still checking that report." but added, "The riots are extremely violent in that area, with many Palestinians hurling firebombs and rocks."

      More than a dozen demonstrators were also injured by rubber bullets fired by Israeli soldiers in response to the violence in Hevron, according to foreign and Israeli media. PA Arabs are also rioting in numerous areas around Judea and Samaria to protest IDF military action in Gaza.
