'Palestinians' claim 17-year old shot and killed in Silwan on Friday

'Palestinians' are claiming that a 17-year old boy was shot in the stomach in Silwan on Friday and died Saturday morning. The 'Palestinians' refused to allow an autopsy to be performed. Israeli police reported that the boy suffered a shoulder wound on Friday and that his condition 'deteriorated' overnight.

The 17-year-old Palestinian youth who was injured during "Nakba day" disturbances in east Jerusalem on Friday died early on Saturday, Palestinian medical sources at the Makassed hospital in east Jerusalem said. An official at the hospital said the teenager had been shot in the stomach.

The Israel Police said it requested permission to carry out an autopsy on the body, but the request was refused.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the youth was treated for a shoulder injury on Friday night, and that his condition deteriorated over night.

"It's not clear what the injuries were, and how he sustained them. An investigation is underway," Rosenfeld said.

Israel Radio reported on Saturday night that the 'Palestinians' claimed that the shots came from Beit Yehonatan, a Jewish residential building in Silwan, but there was no evidence that was true.

Here's video from Silwan on Friday.

Let's go to the videotape.



I'm so glad the kiddies know how to shout Allahu Akhbar. That's a critical skill for getting welfare money when they're older.

On Saturday, at the 'funeral,' 'Palestinians' threw stones at police and at Jewish homes in Silwan.

There were also riots over the weekend in other Jerusalem neighborhoods, including Issawiya, Ras al-Amud, Shuafat and at the Kalandia checkpoint.

Did anyone check that coffin? Anyone else think this is yet another case of Pallywood?
