Two reported killed in West Bank violence

A Palestinian man who entered a settlement in the occupied West Bank armed with knives and explosive devices was fatally shot by an Israeli settler on Friday, the military said.

Hours later, a 16-year-old Palestinian died after being critically wounded when Israeli troops opened fire on stonethrowing Palestinians in northern West Bank, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.

The violence comes a day after a Palestinian gunman wounded Israelis in Tel Aviv. It is one of the deadliest periods of unrest between the two sides in years.

The Israeli military said the armed Palestinian slipped into a farm near the settlement of Karnei Shomron and was fatally shot by a settler overseeing the land.

The teen, Amir Ouda, was wounded close to a checkpoint near the town of Qalqilya, the Palestinian Health Ministry said. There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military.

Hours earlier, Israeli security forces entered the Palestinian village of Naalin and prepared to demolish the family house of the Palestinian suspected of carrying out the Tel Aviv attack.
