Another young life has been lost in the ongoing conflict between Palestinians and Israelis, as 16-year-old Omar Madi was killed Tuesday after being shot by Israeli forces. The teenager was shot during clashes in the southern occupied West Bank district of Hebron's al-Arroub refugee camp, according to Palestine News Network.

The teenager had been participating in one of the violent demonstrations in the area. An Israeli army spokesperson noted that soldiers spotted a number of boys throwing stones at Israeli vehicles in the area, to which they allegedly responded with "riot dispersal means." One of the demonstrators, Madi, was shot using live rounds.

Due to the violent nature of protests in the area, Israeli forces have started utilizing numerous ways to disperse unruly crowds. While tear gas has been the tool of choice for many, Israeli soldiers have started using rubber-coated steel bullets lately, reported Ma'an News Agency.

However, in cases where demonstrators engaged in violent acts like throwing Molotov cocktails, for example, some soldiers have started responding with live ammo. Such was the case with Madi's death.

While the teen was rushed to a hospital after the incident, he was quickly pronounced dead by medical officials due to his wounds, The Times Of Israel reported.

Madi has become one of almost 170 Palestinians who have been killed in increasingly violent clashes with Israeli forces since October.
