Ghanam and two others were killed in the clashes, while another teenager was killed near a hospital, Tubas governor Ahmed Assad told AFP.

The teenager was shot when the troops "entered the area of the hospital," Assad said.

Aqaba mayor Abdel Razzaq Abu Arra said the teenager "was killed in cold blood".

"This Zionist crime is a systematic crime that the Israelis carry out on a daily basis," he added.

Since war broke out in October between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, tensions have soared in the West Bank, which Israel has occupied since 1967.
