A citizen who was shot in the head with live ammunition died," the Palestinian health ministry said, adding the incident happened in the village of Beit Dajan, near Nablus.
The Israeli military said it was looking into the report.

"The soldiers fired when we approached a wildcat settlement near the village," said Hanani.
