Iran Press/Middle East: Israeli troops shot and killed a Palestinian teenager during clashes with people in the occupied West Bank on Friday.
Israel's border police said that during the clash in the village of Umm Safa near the city of Ramallah, a policeman responded with fire, and "a hit was identified," it said.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said a 17-year-old resident of the village had been killed.
In a separate incident, Palestinian medical officials said a Palestinian was killed when Israeli troops fired at a car driving near the city of Nablus. Another was wounded and detained, they said.
The Israeli army said it was looking into the report.
Violence in the West Bank, among territories where the Palestinians seek to establish a state, has worsened over the past 15 months with stepped-up Israeli raids and assaults by Jewish settlers on Palestinian villages.
