A Palestinian man died after being shot by Israeli forces near Beit Fajjar in the West Bank, the Palestinian Authority Health Ministry says.
Palestinian health officials identify the man as Ammar Shafiq Abu Afifa.
The Israeli military says it is looking into the matter. Initial reports allege that Abu Afifa had thrown stones before the shooting, but there was no immediate confirmation from the army.
