Israeli forces shot dead a 13-year-old Palestinian boy during a raid in the occupied West Bank, Reuters reports citing the official Palestinian news agency Wafa, an incident which the Israeli military said was under review.

There were confrontations with Israeli forces at the town of Qabatiya, south of Jenin city, during a pre-dawn military raid there, the Wafa report said. The Israeli military said a number of Palestinian gunmen had shot at its troops, who returned fire.
