Two Palestinians were killed in separate clashes with Israeli troops in the West Bank, Palestinian authorities say.
The Palestinian Authority Health Ministry says Rashid Abu Ara, 16, was killed in Aqaba, north of Nablus.
The Israeli army had no immediate comment.
Earlier, Hussein Al-Titi was killed after being hit by Israeli gunfire in Fawwar refugee camp near Hebron, the PA ministry says.
The Israeli army says the incident took place during a “violent riot” as soldiers “spotted one of the rioters standing on a rooftop with the intention of hurling a block towards the troops.”
“The troops responded with fire,” the army says in a statement.
Responsibly covering this tumultuous time
As The Times of Israel’s political correspondent, I spend my days in the Knesset trenches, speaking with politicians and advisers to understand their plans, goals and motivations.
I'm proud of our coverage of this government's plans to overhaul the judiciary, including the political and social discontent that underpins the proposed changes and the intense public backlash against the shakeup.
