Israeli soldiers have shot dead two Palestinian teenagers in the occupied West Bank, with Palestinian officials and the Israeli military offering conflicting accounts.
Palestinian officials said the pair, aged 15 and 19, were killed on Monday in the area of Beit Ummar.
The Israeli military said they attacked a nearby Jewish settlement with fire bombs and burning tyres.
Reuters was unable to independently verify the Israeli military's account. Of the three people the military said it shot at, one was wounded and two were killed.
