The incident occurred near Beit Ummar, between Hebron and Jerusalem.
The Palestinian Authority said in a statement that the teenagers were "killed by bullets from the occupation forces this afternoon."
Earlier in the day, the Israeli military stated that it had killed "two terrorists who were in the process of carrying out a terrorist attack."
Since the war in Gaza broke out with the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7, 2023, over 1,000 Palestinians, including combatants, have been killed by Israeli forces or settlers in the West Bank. During the same period, 43 Israelis have been killed in Palestinian attacks.
