The Health Ministry says a young man was killed and two people were injured in an assault in the town of Aqqaba.
Israeli soldiers have killed at least one person during a raid in the occupied West Bank town of Aqqaba, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said.
The body of the Palestinian man, identified as 25-year-old Adham Zayed Ezzat Masri, was still being held by Israeli forces, the ministry said on Saturday after the dawn assault.
Aqqaba is located in the north of the governorate of Tubas, which lies in the northwest Palestinian territory.
The man was killed after his family home in Aqqaba was surrounded by soldiers, according to Palestinian news agency Wafa, which also reported that a 50-year-old Palestinian was injured in the chest after being hit by live bullets and was transferred to hospital in critical condition.
Another 49-year-old person suffered bruises, the agency said.
