A Palestinian-American teenager has been killed by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank, Palestinian officials say.

Omar Mohammed Saada Rabea, 14, was shot on the outskirts of Turmus Ayya on Sunday evening along with two other 14-year-old boys, one of whom was seriously wounded. The other suffered minor wounds.

The Israeli military said its troops opened fire at three "terrorists" who were throwing stones towards a highway and endangering civilians driving on it.
