Palestinian civil defense officials said the teenager who died had been asleep when a tank shell hit his home. He was pulled from the debris of the three-storey building and taken to hospital, where officials said he was dead on arrival.
At least six other Palestinians were hurt in shooting that echoed throughout Jerusalem on one of the coldest nights of the year. Ten homes were damaged and another erupted in flames after being hit by shells and machine-gun fire, witnesses said.
