In footage shared by Army Radio over Twitter, the Palestinian man is seen unarmed running away from IDF troops. He was then shot in the head while fleeing.
The IDF Spokesperson's Unit has yet to comment on what happened.
Why was the IDF in a Palestinian village?
IDF troops had entered Beita to arrest a suspect in connection with the recent Huwara shooting.
Shai Nigerker and his son Aviad Nir, who were visiting the area, were murdered in the attack.
The IDF troops ended up clashing with others in the area during the arrest and had to fire at two Palestinians, Ynet reported.
This is a developing story.
