An Israeli reservist soldier has been killed and four others wounded when their vehicle struck a roadside bomb during a raid in the occupied West Bank, Press TV reported.
The blast occurred in the town of Tammun, located 13 kilometers (8 miles) northeast of Nablus, on Monday.
The soldiers were in an armored vehicle when the bomb went off.
The Israeli military identified the reservist soldier killed in the explosion as 31-year-old Eviatar Ben Yehuda.
It announced in a statement that a battalion commander seated next to him sustained serious injuries, and was evacuated to a hospital for treatment.
Earlier, a Palestinian teenager was fatally shot and several others, including two minors and an elderly man, were wounded as Israeli military forces stormed the nearby town of Sebastia.
The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said in a brief statement that 14-year-old Ahmad Rashid Rushdi Jazar was shot in the chest with live bullets during the raid on Sunday evening.
He was rushed to a hospital, where he succumbed to his serious gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead.
Mayor of Sebastia, Mohammed Azem, said Israeli troops fired live bullets, stun grenades and toxic teargas canisters at local residents and their homes during the skirmishes.
Several protesters suffered breathing difficulties due to inhaling the tear gas.
