RAMALLAH, West Bank — Israeli soldiers killed a Palestinian boy in clashes during West Bank raids Friday, hospital officials said, as a search for three Israeli teens feared abducted in the territory entered its second week.
Three other Palestinians were seriously wounded by army gunfire during raids in four towns and refugee camps.
The death of the boy, 13, raised to two the number of Palestinians shot dead by Israeli soldiers during search operations this week.
The three Jewish seminary students disappeared June 12 while hitchhiking in the West Bank. Israel has blamed the Islamist militant Hamas group for the apparent abduction, but has offered no proof.
Hamas has praised the abduction but has not claimed responsibility for it.
