PA health ministry: 2 teens shot dead by troops; IDF: Suspects were throwing explosives at settlement
Two Palestinian teenagers were killed by Israeli troops overnight in the West Bank, the Palestinian Authority health ministry says.
The PA health ministry says a 16- and a 17-year-old were killed west of Aqabat Jaber refugee camp, near Jericho.
One teen was shot in the head and the other in the chest, the Palestinian health ministry says.
The Israeli military does not confirm the deaths but says two suspects hurled explosives toward a settlement, endangering civilians, and troops responded with live fire.
“Hits were identified,” the military says in a statement.
