Security sources told WAFA that Israeli forces raided the aforementioned area, sparking confrontations with Palestinians, during which a youth identified as Ameer Khalifa, 27, was hit with a bullet to the head.
Khalifa, a resident of ‘Ein Beit El Ma Camp, west of the Nablus, was transferred to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead later.
So far this year, violence linked to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has killed at least 202 Palestinians, 27 Israelis, one Ukrainian and one Italian, according to an AFP tally compiled from official sources on both sides.
They include, on the Palestinian side, combatants as well civilians and, on the Israeli side, three members of the Arab minority.
Excluding Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem, the West Bank is home to nearly three million Palestinians, as well as around 490,000 Israelis who live in settlements considered illegal under international law.
