A Palestinian teenager was killed by Israeli fire during clashes in the southern West Bank on Wednesday, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.
"Mohammed al-Haddad, 17, was killed by a bullet that penetrated his heart in clashes with occupation (forces) in the area of Bab al-Zawya in Hebron," according to the ministry.
The Israeli army had no immediate comment on the incident.
Haddad was pronounced dead at a hospital in Hebron, according to an AFP photographer.
A small protest had been organised in the city against US President Donald Trump's controversial plan to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Witnesses said approximately a dozen young men had thrown stones towards Israeli forces.
Trump's peace proposal, unveiled late last month, was immediately rejected by the Palestinians, who blasted it as blatantly pro-Israeli.
The plan gives Israel the green light to annex settlements in the West Bank, including within Hebron, where a few hundred Jewish settlers live in the centre of the Palestinian city of around 200,000.
