In the Middle East, a Palestinian-American teenager was fatally shot by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank.
On Sunday evening local time, a 14-year-old U.S. citizen from New Jersey was shot and killed near the town of Turmus Ayya, northeast of Ramallah.
According to the Israel Defense Forces, soldiers identified three individuals throwing rocks at civilian vehicles on a nearby highway.
The IDF said its soldiers opened fire during a counterterrorism operation in the area after spotting three "terrorist" individuals who were throwing rocks at the highway.
The mayor of Turmus Ayya said three teenagers were shot on this day, resulting in one death and injuries to two others.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health called the shooting an "extrajudicial killing."
