Almugayer: Clashes erupted on Saturday between Palestinians and Israeli soldiers in the occupied West Bank as hundreds of Palestinians mourned the death of a 13-year-old who died after being shot by Israeli troops.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said Ali Abu Alia was hit in the stomach and died later at a hospital on Friday.

The Israeli military said "dozens of rioters" hurled rocks at Israeli soldiers and border police, who responded with "riot dispersal means."
It denied that its forces used live ammunition.
On Saturday mourners carried the teenager's body, wrapped in a Palestinian flag, through the streets chanting: "With soul and blood we will redeem you, martyr."
Clashes between Palestinian youths and Israeli forces entering Palestinian-controlled areas of the occupied West Bank are common.
The military often raids Palestinian towns to arrest people they say are suspected of planning or taking part in attacks.
Tensions are also high around the Israeli settlements. Over 400,000 settlers live in the West Bank, which Israel occupied in the 1967 Mideast war.
