Israeli forces have shot dead a 14-year-old Palestinian boy during an operation in the occupied West Bank, Palestinian officials say.

Moataz Daghlas was killed on Monday evening in the village of Burqa, north-west of Nablus, according to the Palestinian health ministry.

The Israeli military said soldiers identified "several terrorists who intended to hurl stones" in an area where stones had previously been thrown at Israeli vehicles. The soldiers fired towards them "to remove the threat", it added.
