Two Palestinians, including a teenage boy, have been killed in an attack involving Jewish settlers and Israeli soldiers in a village in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, according to Palestinian officials.

The Mayor of al-Mughayyir, Amin Abu Alia, told the BBC that around 10 settlers approached the village along with soldiers and started shooting towards a school.

He said Aws al-Naasan, 14, and Jihad Abu Naim, 32, were killed by soldiers. The Palestinian health ministry blamed "settler gunfire".

Israel's military said it dispatched soldiers after a report of stones being thrown towards an Israeli car carrying civilians, including a reservist who got out and "opened fire at suspects in the area".

The soldiers then "acted to disperse the violent confrontation", it added.
