Israeli forces killed the first teenager during their operation against Husan, a village near the city of Bethlehem in the southern occupied West Bank, the Palestinian ministry said in a statement.

It is 16-year-old Qusai Hamamra, according to the Husan City Council. 

The Israeli army for its part indicated that "a suspect threw a Molotov cocktail at soldiers in the locality of Husan" and that the soldiers responded by firing "live ammunition to stop the immediate threat", without specifying whether the suspect is dead.

The second victim, Amer Elyan, was hit "by a live bullet in the chest" fired "by the Israeli army", during a clash following the arrest of a person in the village of Silwad near the city of Ramallah (center), which also injured six.

Elyan was 18 years old according to locals.
