A Palestinian man is killed by Israeli troops’ gunfire in the central West Bank, Palestinian health officials say.

The Palestinian Authority Health Ministry says the man was shot by Israeli forces in the village of al-Mughayyir, near Ramallah.

There is no immediate comment from the Israel Defense Forces on the incident.

The incident marks the fifth Palestinian to be killed by Israel fire today, after an alleged car-ramming attacker was killed earlier, and three others were killed clashing with troops in the West Bank.
