Israeli military forces killed a Palestinian teenager during a raid into the occupied West Bank on Friday, local residents and medical workers said.
The residents said the 17-year-old was killed while confronting Israeli troops who raided the village of Beit Umar, near the West Bank city of Hebron.
An Israeli army spokesman claimed troops fired at a group of militants who hurled firebombs at them.
The incident could further disrupt a shaky ceasefire agreement between the Jewish state and Palestinian militant groups in the Gaza Strip.
