Officials said Tuesday that a Palestinian teen was killed in a clash with the Israeli military in the occupied West Bank.

Palestinian authorities said the 15-year-old boy died after being shot in the head during clashes with soldiers in the city of Nablus.

The Israeli military said soldiers were carrying out an arrest raid in the Balata refugee camp when they came under fire from nearby rooftops.

The military said large stone blocks were thrown at the troops, and that soldiers opened fire at a person they said was about to drop a large object on them.

It was unclear whether the teen, identified as Imad Hashash, was the same person.
