An Israeli settler has shot dead a 27-year-old Palestinian man in the occupied West Bank on Saturday, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.
The man was killed in the village area of Masafer Yatta, near the Palestinian city of Hebron, according to the Health Ministry and the official Palestinian news agency WAFA.
The Israeli military said the shooter was a reserve soldier who arrived at the scene after receiving a report of confrontations between settlers and Palestinians. The incident was being investigated, the military said.
Masafer Yatta is among the sites where Palestinians have been increasingly displaced by settler violence that has risen sharply over the past two years, according to the United Nations.
Two Palestinian brothers were shot dead by an Israeli on Monday near the city of Nablus in the northern West Bank, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.
Israeli newspaper Haaretz said the military police were investigating a reserve soldier for Monday's shooting.
