RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — Palestinian medical officials say a Palestinian teenager was killed during clashes with Israeli troops in the West Bank.

A doctor at Nablus hospital says 16-year-old Mohammad Qadus died Saturday after being shot in the chest by Israeli security forces.

Palestinians say a 17-year-old protester was also in serious condition after being shot in the head.

Israel's military confirmed that it dispersed a group of rock-throwing Palestinians near the town of Iraq Burin in the northern West Bank. It said two Palestinians were injured.

Clashes take place in the village on a nearly weekly basis over a water well that Palestinians claim Jewish settlers are trying to seize for their own use.
