Two people were killed in Israeli army raids in the West Bank on Monday, according to Palestinian reports.
The Palestinian militant organization Hamas said that a member of its military arm had been killed in Tulkarem.
According to the Ministry of Health in Ramallah, a 15-year-old boy was shot dead in a separate incident in Fara, south of Tubas. Five other people were said injured by gunfire.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spoke of "counterterrorism activity in the area" of Fara.
"Thus far, the forces apprehended three wanted suspects and dismantled explosive devices," the IDF said in a statement.
"Furthermore, exchanges of fire are currently taking place with armed terrorists, during which a terrorist was eliminated and hits to additional terrorists were identified. The counterterrorism activity is ongoing."
"Moreover, in the towns of Faqqua, Rumana, and Dhinnaba, the security forces apprehended four suspects and eliminated an armed terrorist," the IDF statement said.
The situation in the occupied West Bank has worsened considerably since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip on October 7.
Since then, 512 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli military operations, confrontations or attacks of their own, according to the local health ministry.
The Israeli army said on Monday that around 4,150 wanted Palestinians had been arrested in the West Bank since the start of the war. Around 1,750 of them belonged to Hamas, it said.
In New York, the United Nations Security Council plans to vote on Monday on a resolution tabled by the United States that supports a plan presented by US President Joe Biden for a ceasefire in the Gaza conflict.
A corresponding meeting was added to the agenda of the body in New York on Monday and is due to take place following a previous meeting.
The resolution supports Biden's plan which envisages an end to the fighting in Gaza in three phases.
According to the US, only Hamas has not yet agreed to the plan. However, there has been no clear and public approval of the plan from Israel's government either.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is currently on a tour of Middle Eastern capitals in an effort to gain support for the plan outlined by the US president.
At least nine votes in favour are required to pass a resolution in the Security Council, the most powerful body in the United Nations, which is binding under international law.
In addition, there must be no veto from the five permanent members of the body: the US, Britain, France, Russia and China.
Whether the draft resolution would be successful initially remained unclear.
