Witnesses said the incident in the town of Halhoul, near the
city of Hebron, came after Israeli troops entered and sealed off
a currency exchange office.
There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military.
The Palestinian foreign ministry described the killing of the
27-year-old man as an Israeli "execution" and called for
international protection for the Palestinians.
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 47 Palestinians and Arab street attacks that have killed
19 people in Israel and the West Bank.
