The soldiers, seeking to detain a Hamas militant, were confronted by
around 50 Palestinians who hurled stones, petrol bombs and burning
tires at them, an Israeli military spokeswoman said.
Israel and Hamas, the Islamist militant group which dominates Gaza,
fought a seven-week war in July and August.
The medics named the dead man as 22-year-old Issa al Qitri, and said
he had been shot in the heart in al-Amari camp near the city of
Ramallah.
The Israeli military spokeswoman said he was shot while trying to
throw an explosive device at the soldiers.
Palestinians want the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem
for a future state. Peace talks with Israel, which captured those
territories in the 1967 Middle East war, broke down in April.
