A Palestinian was killed by Israel near Ramallah in the West Bank, the military said.

Earlier in the day, occupation forces killed two Palestinian teenagers on Friday alleging both have stabbed and wounded a settler in Hebron.

Mustafa Abd al-Munaim Funoon (16) and Taher Abd al-Munaim Funoon (19) were shot dead by Israeli soldiers in the al-Rumaida neighbourhood - which was seized by settlers - of central Hebron.

"Two assailants stabbed a soldier in Hebron," a military statement said. "In response to the threat, forces fired at the attackers, resulting in their death."

The Palestinian Ministry of Health said that the Palestinian death toll since the beginning of October has risen to 112, including 25 children and five women.

The ministry said in a statement that since the popular uprising on the third of October, more than 13,500 Palestinians were wounded, including 4800 who were either shot by rubber-coated metal bullets, had fracture wounds as a result of severe beatings, or were burnt.

Israeli forces also stormed the town of Saida, north of the west bank city of Tulkarem, and raided the house of Izz al-Din Raddad, who died at the age of 21 after he was shot dead by Israeli forces. Raddad had allegedly attacked a settler in Jerusalem on Thursday.

Also on Thursday, a Palestinian Intelligence officer from Abu Dis, a town in Jerusalem governorate, attacked and wounded an Israeli soldier before getting shot dead by Israeli forces, according to Israeli and witness reports.

It is unusual for Palestinian security agents to carry out such attacks.
