Teenager shot dead after children's funeral

Israeli troops have shot dead a Palestinian teenager during clashes after the funerals of five children.

Soldiers fired stun grenades and live rounds, killing a 15-year-old boy, said Palestinian doctors.

The army said it only fired warning shots in the air, and did not see anyone being hit.

Earlier Israel was accused of assassinating the five Palestinian children who died in an explosion on their way to school.

The deaths were originally thought to have been caused by an unexploded tank shell which one of the children kicked.

But reports say Israeli troops may have planted a bomb in the Khan Younis refugee camp to target Palestinian gunmen.
