The Palestinian Health Ministry has said that Israeli forces have killed a Palestinian teenager and wounded three other people during a military raid in the occupied West Bank, Reuters reports.

The killing of 17-year-old Yazan Ishtayeh brought to six the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces or armed settlers since Friday, as Palestinian authorities reported increased settler rampages across the West Bank.

A spokesperson for Israel’s Border Police said that undercover border police troops, together with the Israeli army, launched an operation in the city of Nablus to arrest a suspect.

During the activity, there was rioting in which one person threw an explosive device at the troops and was shot dead by the undercover unit, the spokesperson said.
