The West Bank region in the Middle East is boiling again after two Palestinian teens, aged 17 and 18, died in separate incidents during a clash with Israeli forces sparked by violent protests.
According to the Palestinian health ministry, the first victim, Oday Nawajaa, 17, died after being hit by Israeli live fire at al-Eizariya town east of Jerusalem while the second, an unnamed 18-year-old died in the West Bank village of Abu Dis when a petrol bomb he was planning to throw at Israeli security forces exploded prematurely.
