Relatives mourn next to the body Amir Abu Musaid at the al-Aqsa hospital in central Gaza on Thursday (AFP)
Two Palestinian teenagers were killed and three others seriously wounded on Thursday in clashes with the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
Amir Abu Musaed, 16, was shot dead in clashes with the Israeli military along the Gaza border, according to the Palestinian health ministry.
Abu Musaed was reportedly shot in the chest near the border fence, east of Al-Bureij camp in central Gaza, following protests against US President Donald Trump's controversial recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Israeli soldiers killed Ali Kaddus, a 16-year-old from Iraq Bureen, a small village south of Nablus city in the illegally occupied West Bank.
Kaddus was shot in the head during clashes near a makeshift Israeli checkpoint at the entrance of Tell village to the southwest of Nablus, according to local media.
The checkpoint was one of several that the Israeli army set up this week after a 35-year-old Israeli was shot dead on Tuesday near the illegal Israeli settlement Havat Gilad.
The Israeli army spokesperson told Haaretz that "it is looking into the reports" about the shooting of the two teenagers.
