Israeli Defense Forces killed a 14-year-old Palestinian-American in a West Bank village Friday. Orwah Hammad, who grew up in New Orleans and traveled to the West Bank when he was six, was shot in the head, as violence flares in Jerusalem and the West Bank. On Wednesday, a Palestinian drove a car through a train station in Jerusalem, killing a three-month-old infant — also an American citizen — and injuring eight in what police called a terrorist attack. Killed: Orwah Hammad, 14, became the second teenager killed in the West Bank by Israeli Defense Forces when he was shot in the head on Friday
