The Israeli military says troops have shot and killed two armed Palestinian gunmen outside a Jewish settlement in the West Bank.
The military said the shootings occurred Tuesday at a settlement near the West Bank town of Nablus.
Reuters quotes Palestinian sources as saying the two men belonged to the militant al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades.
Earlier today, Palestinians say a teenager was shot dead and another youth was wounded near Ramallah by Israeli gunfire during a stone-throwing protest against the barrier fence that Israel is building in the West Bank.
Israeli sources say troops were not involved in the shooting.
