Israeli troops martyred Palestinian youth in West Bank

Israeli troops martyred a Palestinian youth in the occupied West Bank link on Sunday, Palestinian link said, with Israel's army saying soldiers fired on "armed suspects" during a routine patrol.

The army said that "hits were identified" after soldiers fired towards "armed suspects driving in a vehicle and a motorcycle" near Nablus in the northern West Bank link, an area that has seen near daily violence in recent months.

The Palestinian link health ministry named the man killed as Saed al-Koni.

A loose coalition of fighters called "The Lions Den" that has recently emerged in Nablus claimed Koni as one of their members.
