Palestinian teen shot dead in Israeli West Bank raid, Wafa reports

RAMALLAH, West Bank, ‌April ​29 (Reuters) - ​A Palestinian teen was shot dead during an Israeli military raid ‌in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, ⁠official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.

The Palestinian ‌health ministry said the ‌teenager was a 16-year-old boy. The Israeli military said it was looking into ​the report. Wafa said the boy was killed by soldiers' gunfire, during ⁠a raid in the Palestinian city of Hebron.

Earlier, the ​Israeli military said two Palestinians attacked and wounded two soldiers in the ​area of Silwad, near ‌Ramallah. The soldiers opened fire, killing one of the assailants and ⁠apprehended the second man alive, the military said.

Reuters was not immediately able to verify ⁠the details of either incident.

In northern Gaza, Palestinian ​health officials said a medic was killed in an Israeli strike. The Israeli military did not ‌immediately comment. It said its forces had shot dead a militant ‌in southern Gaza in a separate ⁠incident later on ‌Wednesday.
