Israeli forces killed three people, including two teenagers, in the West Bank early this morning, according to the Palestinian official news agency WAFA.
They shot a 14-year-old in the head in a refugee camp south of Bethlehem and a 16-year-old died after being shot in the town of Tulkarm, the news agency said.
Armed Israeli forces also stormed the village of Budrus, west of Ramallah, and shot and killed a young man, Gebriel Awad, while wounding another, WAFA said.
There was no immediate comment from Israel.
In official figures released before the shootings, the Palestinian health ministry said 61 people had been killed in the West Bank since 7 October, when Hamas attacked Israel.
Protests took place across the territory yesterday following an explosion at al Ahli hospital in Gaza, which local officials said killed 471 people – though Israel contests the death toll.
