The Palestinian health ministry said the teenager was a 16-year-old boy. The Israeli military said it was looking into the report. Wafa said the boy was killed by soldiers' gunfire during a raid in the Palestinian city of Hebron.

Earlier, the Israeli military said two Palestinians attacked and wounded two soldiers in the area of Silwad, near Ramallah. The soldiers opened fire, killing one of the assailants and apprehending the second man alive, the military said.
