Joint List MK Ofer Cassif slammed the IDF when he took to social media to say that “the claims about a Molotov cocktail, [which may exist] or not don’t matter a thing – the Israeli Army has nothing to do in Hebron and must pull out of it now.”He added that “the heart aches over the needless death of a 17-year-old kid in Hebron” and claims he was “murdered in a city under occupation.”There have been daily clashes between Israeli troops and Palestinians in the West Bank since the release of US President Donald Trump’s peace plan last week. While the IDF has been on heightened alert in the West Bank since the release and deployed additional troops to the area, an IDF officer told The Jerusalem Post that there has not been a significant increase in violence.Nevertheless, hours before Haddad’s death clashes broke out in al-Bireh near Ramallah where Palestinians were filmed hurling firebombs towards a convoy of IDF vehicles as it left the town following an arrest. On Tuesday, an Israeli border police officer was lightly injured after he was hit by a firebomb which exploded into flames on him during riots in Hebron. The day before, another IDF soldier was hit by a Molotov cocktail.הלב כואב על מוות מיותר של נער בן 17 בחברון. הילד נרצח בעיר תחת כיבוש, שרחובות בה מופרדים על בסיס אתני ותושביה סובלים יום יום מאלימות המתנחלים והצבא. הטענות על בקבוק תבערה או לא אינן משנות דבר וחצי דבר - לצבא הישראלי אין מה לחפש בחברון ועליו לצאת ממנה מיד ולמנוע כל אלימות נוספת.
