A Palestinian-American teenager was killed by Israeli security forces on Friday in the occupied West Bank, Palestinian health officials said.

The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The American-born youth was 17-years-old, the boy's uncle told Reuters, adding that the incident occurred during clashes with the Israeli military that included stone-throwing by Palestinians.

The Palestinian official news agency WAFA said the youth had been killed by Israeli gunfire.
