A Palestinian was shot dead and another wounded on Monday in a clash at a military checkpoint in the northern West Bank, Palestinian officials said.
The Israeli army said its troops fired at "two assailants who hurled an explosive device" in the vicinity of the checkpoint, near Jenin, but it did not confirm if either were hit. It said no soldiers were hurt.

The Palestinian health ministry named the dead man as Abdullah Tawalba, 19, and said in a statement that he was "hit by live bullets" and died in the Jenin hospital.
Officials at the hospital had earlier said his name was Abdallah Abu Talib and said he was killed in the Jalameh incident.
Both sources said a second man was injured moderately. The Palestinian Red Crescent said he was shot in the chest and described his condition as stable.
