The
Israeli military said in a statement that troops carrying out an
arrest raid in Dheisheh refugee camp in Bethlehem opened fire
when locals threw homemade bombs and rocks at them.
It was not clear whether the man killed, a father of three, was
involved in the confrontations.
The Palestinian foreign ministry condemned the killing.
"The escalation in field executions is clear evidence that the
ruling Israeli coalition is implementing the plans and policies
of the right and far right in the occupying state," it said in a
statement.
The Palestinian Prisoners Club, which advocates on behalf of
Palestinians in Israeli jails, said the man killed had been
released from an Israeli jail in 2014. It did not elaborate on
the reasons for his detention.
Violence in territories where Palestinians seek statehood has
simmered since U.S.-sponsored peace talks stalled in 2014. It
has flared since January, with Israeli raids that have killed at
least 46 Palestinians and Arab street attacks that have killed
19 people in Israel and the West Bank.
