Hebron - Ma'an - 

Israeli occupation soldiers killed a Palestinian teenage boy on Tuesday evening in the Wadi Al-Tuffah neighborhood of the southern West Bank city of Hebron.

The Israeli occupation army claimed that one of their patrols in Hebron saw a Palestinian boy holding a toy gun, and when they ordered the boy to stop, the troops shot him dead.

Palestinian medical sources at the Al-Ahli Hospital in Hebron stated that the boy, Ahmad Abdul Muhsen Al-Sukafi, 15, was already dead when he arrived at the hospital. According to our Hebron correspondent, the medical sources said that Al-Sukafi was "brutally murdered"; his intestines were hanging out of his body and his right hand showed signs of mauling by dogs. He had also been riddled with bullets, our correspondent added.
