The Israeli military accused the man in a statement on Telegram of being a “terrorist.” It said the 29-year-old supplied weapons and was involved in an attack on the military in 2025.
A witness whose family owns the house told AFP that the man tried to escape.
But the soldiers shot him at close range in the yard of the house, even though they could have arrested him.
Violence against Palestinians has escalated in the West Bank since terrorist attacks by Hamas on October 7, 2023. Israeli soldiers and settlers have killed more than 1,038 Palestinians, both militants and civilians, according to an AFP tally.
