Clashes in Jerusalem after Palestinian teen abducted and killed

 
 
Israeli forces have clashed with Palestinian protesters in Jerusalem after police found the body of a missing teenager in the area. Hundreds of people gathered to block the Holy City’s light rail and threw stones at Israeli forces who in return fired tear gas and rubber bullets. Locals believe the 16-year-old was killed by Israelis in revenge for three Israeli teenagers abducted near a Jewish settlement last month. Family and friends identified the missing teen as Mohammed Abu Khudair who was kidnapped from an Arab suburb the night before. He was reportedly pulled into a car and abducted. Israel has blamed Hamas Islamists for the kidnappings. The group had praised the abductions but not claimed responsibility.
