Fatah sources claimed Saturday that a 16-year-old Arab teen was shot to death and another was critically wounded during clashes with IDF soldiers near the Samarian city of Shchem. According to the Fatah report, a conflict erupted after Jewish villagers from Har Bracha attacked local Arabs.

IDF sources responded that Arab rioters were heading towards the Jewish village of Har Bracha and that soldiers used crowd-dispersal means, including firing rubber bullets, but that no live ammunition was employed. IDF sources did however confirm that one of the rioters had been injured.
