activity on behalf of the airline that may have contributed to the crash. >> thank you rory challands from the russian capital moscow israeli forces shot dead a palestinian teenager and say the 17-year-old.carried out a tabbing i talk. 79 palestinians and nine israelis have been killed. five other palestinian teenagers had been buried in hebron. the bodies handed over on friday after intervention by mahmoud abbas, and international groups. the dead were between the ages of 15 and 18. earlier this month the government decided to retain the bodies of palestinians accused of attacks. there has been clashes on the streets after the funerals took place. men have been throwing rocks
