Israeli military fire has killed a 14-year-old Palestinian boy in the occupied West Bank, Palestinian health officials said – as an ultranationalist Israeli Cabinet minister visited a sensitive Jerusalem holy site that has been a flashpoint for violence between Israel and the Palestinians.
The visit by Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir threatens to inflame tensions further. It also prompted the Hamas militant group to announce the launch of a rare rocket from the West Bank and drew condemnation from across the Muslim world.
