A Palestinian teen was shot dead by Israeli forces near Hebron, the Health Ministry in the West Bank said Wednesday, a day after a Palestinian stone-thrower killed an Israeli soldier. 

Zaid Qaysia, 15, was hit with a bullet fired by Israeli troops early Wednesday in the Al-Fawar refugee camp, according to a Palestinian Health Ministry spokesperson. Two other Palestinians were injured by live fire during the Israeli raid, the ministry said.
