Two Palestinians, including a 17-year-old boy, were killed by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank on Sunday, according to the Palestinian Fatah party and the Palestinian Health Ministry, Reuters reports.

Palestinian media said Israeli forces opened fire on the home of a 37-year-old man in a town south of Jenin. The health ministry said the 17-year-old was killed in an Israeli raid in Askar camp in Nablus.

The Israeli military said its forces killed an armed militant in the West Bank, confiscated weapons and dismantled an explosives laboratory, and that its troops fired on militants who hurled explosives at them in the Nablus area.

“A hit was identified,” the military said, adding the incident in Nablus was under review.
