(Scroll down for video) A young boy has tragically died in an Israeli controlled West Bank city, according to emergency workers in Israel.
The body of a teenage boy was found next to a primary school in the West Bank settlement of Alfei Menashe early Friday.
Early indications showed that the boy, 14, fell from the roof of the Alfei Menashe school, based on signs of trauma on his body.
The police, however, are investigating other possibilities, including the possibility that he was pushed off the roof, and are checking to see if there were others with the teenager at the time of his death.
“Schools should think about installing tall fences on the roofs of their buildings. There have been several deaths recently, after children have fallen or were pushed off roofs of buildings,” Tamar Rubin, 46, a mother of 5 children in Bat Yam, Israel told YourJewishNews.com.
The body was initially discovered by the children in the school yard, the building custodian said. Paramedics called to the scene confirmed the death.
