Israeli troops shot and killed a 17-year-old Palestinian during clashes with stone throwers in the West Bank village of Umm Safa on Friday, Palestinian officials said, adding two other people were injured with one in serious condition.

In a joint statement, the Israel Defense Forces and Border Police said Palestinians hurled stones and rocks at Israeli forces in Umm Safa, while a border police officer opened fire at the Palestinians and hit at least one of them.

In a separate incident, Palestinian medical officials said a Palestinian was killed when Israeli troops fired at a car driving near the city of Nablus. Another was wounded and detained, they said.
