Zionist regime’s forces martyr Palestinian teen in occupied West Bank

Zionist regime’s military forces have shot and martyred a Palestinian teenage boy in the central part of the occupied West Bank during clashes in protest at US President Donald Trump's recognition of al-Quds as the capital of Israel.

According to Press TV, the Palestinian Ministry of Health announced in a statement that 17-year-old Musab Firas al-Tamimi sustained serious gunshot wounds on Wednesday as dozens of people staged a demonstration in Deir Nidham village, located approximately 23 kilometers (14 miles) northwest of Ramallah.

He succumbed to his wounds after he was taken to hospital by the Palestine Red Crescent Society’s medical staff.

On December 6, Trump announced his decision to recognize al-Quds as Zionist regime’s capital and relocate the US embassy in Tel Aviv to the occupied city.

The dramatic shift in Washington’s policy vis-à-vis the city triggered demonstrations in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Iran, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Tunisia, Algeria, Iraq, Morocco and other Muslim countries.

On December 21, the United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly voted in favor of a resolution that calls on the US to withdraw its controversial recognition of al-Quds as Israeli “capital.”

In an attempt to avert the resolution, Trump had warned that “we’re watching,” threatening reprisals against countries that backed the measure, which earlier faced a US veto at the UN Security Council.

Zionist regime, however, rejected the world body’s resolution while thanking Trump for his decision to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to al-Quds.
