A Palestinian teenager was on Tuesday shot dead by Israeli occupation troops in the northern West Bank, not far from the separation barrier

A Palestinian teenager was on Tuesday shot dead by Israeli occupation troops in the northern West Bank, not far from the separation barrier, Palestinian medical and security sources told AFP.
  
Samir Ahmed Awad, 17, died after being hit by a bullet to the chest and another to the leg in an area not far from the village of Ras Karkar, some 10 kilometres (about six miles) northwest of Ramallah, they said.
  
The Zionist army had no immediate comment on the incident, which took place a day after medics said a 21-year-old Palestinian farmer was killed by Israeli fire in northern Gaza.
  
On Tuesday, the military denied any involvement in the Gaza incident. On Saturday, a 21-year-old Palestinian labourer was shot dead by troops close to the separation barrier in the southern West Bank, medics said.
