Israeli soldiers shot a handcuffed and blindfolded Palestinian teenager who was attempting to flee after being detained for suspected stone-throwing in the West Bank on Thursday.

The minor was detained by the Israeli forces after he had been shot, but was later evacuated by Palestinians to receive medical treatment at Beit Jala near Bethlehem. He appears to have been shot in the groin area.

A witness told Haaretz news agency that the boy is 15 years old.

A spokesperson for the Israeli military said in a statement there had been "massive stone-throwing" near military forces and civilians and confirmed the incident with the teen "who tried to flee after his arrest" and who was "shot in the lower body." The statement said the incident will be investigated.
