Israeli soldiers shot three Palestinians who were throwing stones at cars in the occupied West Bank on Sunday, killing one of them, the Israeli military said, Reuters reported.
The Palestinian Red Crescent said one person was killed and one was wounded in the incident.
The Palestinian authorities did not immediately comment.
The Israeli army announced that, in addition to the deceased, another person was "neutralized" and one was arrested.
A day earlier, Israeli soldiers killed a Palestinian teenager who was driving towards them in a car, as well as a passerby, at a checkpoint in the West Bank city of Hebron.
The military initially said that two "terrorists" were killed after soldiers opened fire on a car speeding towards them, but later clarified that only one attacker took part in the attack.
An Israeli security official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the car was driven by a 17-year-old boy, and that a 55-year-old passerby was the second person killed.
The Palestinian state news agency WAFA said that 55-year-old Ziyad Naim Abu Dawud, a municipal street cleaner, was killed while working. The agency said another Palestinian was killed, but did not report on the circumstances that led to the soldiers opening fire.
The Palestinian Health Ministry identified the teenager as 17-year-old Ahmed Khalil Al-Rajabi, according to Reuters.
The army did not report any injured soldiers.
Violence has been on the rise in the Israeli-occupied West Bank this year. Israeli settler attacks on Palestinians have become more frequent, while the military has tightened restrictions on movement and carried out large-scale raids in several cities.
Since January, 51 Palestinian minors, under the age of 18, have been killed in the West Bank by Israeli forces, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
Palestinians also carried out attacks on Israeli soldiers and civilians, some of which were fatal.
