Israeli security forces killed a Palestinian teen today (April 25, 2015), as he tried to attack them with a knife at a checkpoint in the Jerusalem area, according to the Reuters website.

The incident occurred shortly after midnight near the A-Zayyim checkpoint on the outskirts of East Jerusalem in the occupied West Bank.

Police spokeswoman Luba Samri said 17-year-old Ali Abu Ghannam ran toward security guards with a knife, who shot him when he ignored their warnings to stop.

Following the killing, Palestinian protesters -- who denounced the killing -- threw stones at Israeli riot police in East Jerusalem, injuring one policeman.
