It’s Been a Deadly Winter Along Israel’s West Bank Border

Israel’s aggressive vigilance of its borders has resulted in the loss of another Palestinian life.

On Wednesday, 15-year-old Yousef Nayif Yousef Shawamrah Abu-Akar was shot dead by an Israeli soldier in the south Hebron hills.

According to the Israeli Defense Forces, Yousef was one of three Palestinian teenagers attempting to sabotage the large barrier wall that separates Israel from the West Bank.
