Three men, aged between 20-22, were killed during an Israeli attack on Abu Dis, a suburb of East Jerusalem.
"Six others were wounded, three seriously," according to the ministry’s statement.
Further south, a 22-year-old Palestinian was killed by gunfire in Nuba, northwest of Hebron, while his brother was wounded.
Contacted by AFP, the Israeli military said it was "looking into the reports" on Abu Dis and Nuba.
Meanwhile, a 17-year-old Palestinian "succumbed to his wounds” after having been shot several days ago in Al-Eizariya, also on the outskirts of Jerusalem, the ministry said.
Since the beginning of the Israeli war on Gaza triggered by Hamas’ Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on 7 October, more than 150 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli army or settlers in the West Bank, according to the health ministry.
At the same time, Israeli forces have arrested more than 1,000 Palestinians in the West Bank, the army said. Clashes have often erupted during such operations.
