Israeli soldiers shot dead a Palestinian young man in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, Israeli media quoted the military as saying.
An Israeli military spokeswoman said the Palestinians hurled rocks, blocks and firebombs at the troops, wounding one soldier.
"The force, feeling imminent danger to their lives, responded with fire toward an instigator," she added.
A Palestinian hospital official identified the dead man as 20-year-old Jihad al Jaafari.
