HEBRON, West Bank, June 27 (Reuters) - Israeli forces killed a Palestinian teenager during a raid into the occupied West Bank on Friday, local residents and medical workers said.

The residents said the 17-year-old was killed while confronting Israeli troops who raided the village of Beit Umar, near the West Bank city of Hebron.

An Israeli army spokesman said he was looking into the incident, which could further disrupt a shaky ceasefire agreement between the Jewish state and militant groups in the Gaza Strip.
