TEHRAN, Jan. 6 (MNA) � Human Rights Watch has slammed Israel for not presenting any evidence in the case of killing two Palestinian teenagers in the West Bank in 2013.


�Twice this year, Israeli soldiers hiding near schools, apparently to make arrests, have killed children who posed no apparent threat,� said Joe Stork, the deputy Middle East and North Africa director at HRW on Sunday.

In January 2013, Samir Awad was shot three times in the leg, back and head. The 16-year-old was about 250 meters away from his school when he was shot.

Last week, another Palestinian teenager also died of the wounds he sustained after being shot by Israeli soldiers near the Gaza border.

Also in December 2013 an Israeli soldier shot dead 16-year-old Wajih al-Ramahi in an area between his school and a market.

The HRW said there was no justification for the use of live ammunitions in either of the cases.
