The Palestinian health ministry in Ramallah confirmed the men were killed, while the Palestinian Red Crescent Society said it had received their bodies.
In a separate incident further north, the health ministry said another young man had been shot dead by Israeli forces in a refugee camp near the city of Jericho.
Medical sources in Jericho told an AFP correspondent that a 16-year-old was killed during an army raid on the camp. No clashes were reported.
Violence has surged in the West Bank since Hamas launched the Al-Aqsa Flood Operation in southern Israel on October 7.
Israeli occupation army raids and attacks by settlers have killed at least 341 people in the occupied West Bank since then, according to an AFP tally based on sources on both sides.
More than 520 Palestinians were killed in the occupied West Bank last year, according to the Palestinian health ministry.
Israel has occupied the West Bank, home to about three million Palestinians, since the Six-Day War of 1967.
Excluding annexed east Jerusalem, the territory is now home to around 490,000 Israelis who live in settlements considered illegal under international law.
