A 15-year-old Palestinian was killed in clashes during an Israeli military operation in the town of Kalkilia in the West Bank, the Ministry of Health in Ramallah said on Thursday.
He was hit by two bullets and later died of his injuries in hospital, after confrontations involving youths during an army raid, according to Palestinian media reports.
Israel's military stated on enquiry that the reports on the incident were being investigated.
The situation in the West Bank has worsened significantly since the start of the war in Gaza, unleashed after the massacre by Hamas and other terrorist groups last October. Since then, at least 528 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli military operations, confrontations or their own attacks in the West Bank, according to the Ministry of Health.
Violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians has also increased again since the war began.
Israel continues to seek to eliminate Hamas, which attacked sites in southern Israel on October 7, killing some 1,200 people and abducted about 250 more to Gaza.
Israel responded by pounding Gaza with airstrikes and launched a ground offensive into the sealed-off Palestinian territory at the end of October.
More than 37,300 people have been killed and more than 85,000 injured in the course of the Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip, according to the Hamas-controlled health authority in Gaza.
