During the night (Tuesday - Wednesday), an Israeli Border Police ambush was carried out against several boys throwing Molotov cocktails near the security fence around Jerusalem near Pisgat Ze'ev.
The soldiers identified the suspects throwing Molotov cocktails over the security fence. A sniper from the ambush fired at one of the attackers, who had climbed to the top of the wall and threw Molotov cocktails, hitting him. The suspects fled the scene, and police forces began a search for them.
Shortly after the shooting, the victim, a 16 year-old Palestinian from Anata, was taken to receive medical treatment, and was later pronounced dead. At this time, police forces are continuing their operation with the aim of locating additional suspects.
