Israeli forces killed a Palestinian teenager during clashes in the occupied West Bank, according to Palestinian officials.
Palestinian media said Friday’s shooting occurred during clashes between Israeli troops and Palestinians in a village near the city of Bethlehem.
Palestinian witnesses told Reuters news agency that a group of young Palestinians near Bethlehem threw stones at Israeli troops, who responded with tear gas and gunfire.
The Palestinian Health Ministry named the victim as 16-year-old Mustafa Sabah. He was reportedly shot in the chest.
The Israeli army said it was checking the report.
Earlier, the Israeli army said it had arrested a suspected fighter and seized weapons in a raid on the town of Jenin that led to clashes with Palestinian fighters.
Israeli forces said they fired at suspects who hurled explosives at them. Palestine TV said the soldiers injured two people, including a 14-year-old boy. It said the troops blocked the movement of ambulances and made arrests before withdrawing.
Dozens dead
Violence in the occupied West Bank has surged this year, with frequent Israeli military raids and attacks by Israeli settlers, as well as Palestinian attacks. More than 90 Palestinians and at least 19 Israelis and foreigners have been killed since January.
Israel captured the West Bank, along with East Jerusalem, in the 1967 Middle East War. Since then, it has built large settlements there that are considered illegal by the international community.
Earlier on Friday, the army raided the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank and arrested several Palestinians suspected of involvement in attacks against Israelis, the army said.
Palestinian media reported that two youths were injured in subsequent clashes with the army.
On Thursday, Israeli forces also shot a Palestinian man in the occupied West Bank.
