The Palestinian Authority Health Ministry says a teenager has died as a result of wounds sustained during clashes with Israeli troops in Jenin earlier.

The ministry identifies the teen as 14-year-old Qusai Radwan Waked.

Two other Palestinians were seriously hurt during the clashes.

It was not clear to what extent the teen was participating in the clashes, but the IDF said troops had returned fire at gunmen who were shooting at them as they were arresting a wanted terror operative.
