Two teenagers were killed by Israeli soldiers in the occupied West Bank, according to Palestinian authorities. The incident occurred when Israeli forces and settlers entered a village near Ramallah. Palestinian officials say settlers arrived to steal sheep, sparking a confrontation, after which soldiers "besieged the village" and opened fire on Palestinians approaching the settlers. Israel's military says it was retrieving livestock stolen from settlers, and that "terrorists" threw stones during a riot, prompting troops to fire at the "primary instigators." The two victims are identified as teenage boys, and public mourning is underway in the village. The Israeli military statement confirmed hits but did not mention any deaths.
