Palestinian teen dies after being shot during clash with Israeli soldiers

A Palestinian teenager died of wounds Saturday sustained a day earlier during a West Bank protest against an arson attack on a Palestinian family that killed a toddler and critically injured his parents and brother.

The attack, believed to have been carried out early Friday by suspected Jewish extremists, enraged Palestinians and sent shock waves through much of Israel and fears that it could ignite further violence.

Laith Khalidi, 17, died from his wounds after he was shot during clashes with Israeli solders near Ramallah, according to the Maan news agency.

Thousands in Israel on Saturday attended rallies against violence and in favor of tolerance, denouncing the firebombing in the West Bank village of Duma that killed Ali Dawabshe, 1, as well as a knife attack on a gay pride parade in Jerusalem on Thursday carried out by a Jewish extremist.
