Iran Press/ Middle East: According to the Palestinian news agency WAFA, witnesses said the man was shot on Sunday after he had an argument with Israeli soldiers at a checkpoint near the village of Silwad, north-east of Ramallah.
The man, named by the health ministry as 45-year-old Ahmed Kahla, was reportedly told to get out of his car before being shot.
Israeli media outlets reported that Kahla was allegedly carrying a knife and had attempted to stab the soldiers, but there was no immediate comment from the Israeli military.
The death takes the number of Palestinians killed by Israelis this year to 13.
More than 170 Palestinians were killed in the occupied West Bank and east Jerusalem last year, including Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, who was killed while reporting in Jenin in May.
The United Nations called it the deadliest year in the West Bank since 2006.
