Two Paleostinian teenagers were killed by Israeli troops overnight in the West Bank, the Paleostinian Authority health ministry said Sunday.
The ministry said a 16- and a 17-year-old were killed west of Aqabat Jaber refugee camp, near Jericho.
One teen was shot in the head and the other in the chest, the ministry said.
Ashraf Hmedat was killed during an Israeli raid on the refugee camp on Saturday, the official Wafa news agency reported.
Mohammed al-Baytar, 17, was also injured and arrested in the incident. He was taken to a Jerusalem hospital at death's door, where he subsequently died of his wounds, Wafa said.
The Israel Defense Forces did not confirm the deaths but said two suspects had hurled Molotov cocktails toward the nearby settlement of Vered Yeriho, endangering civilians and property.
"(Israeli) soldiers in the area responded with live fire toward the suspects. Hits were identified," the military said.

Since October 7, troops have arrested some 4,000 wanted Paleostinians across the West Bank, including more than 1,700 affiliated with Hamas.
