Two Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire in the West Bank on Friday, including one who allegedly tried to stab a soldier, as unrest in the occupied territory wounded more than 100 people, Palestinian sources said.

Israeli occupation army said it "neutralised" one assailant following an attempted attack in Ofra, north of Ramallah. The Palestinian health ministry confirmed his death and that of a second man from Israeli fire near Jenin.

The Palestinian Red Crescent said fresh clashes with Israeli troops across the West Bank had left more than 100 people injured.
