Soldiers stationed at the checkpoint reportedly opened gunfire at the unidentified man, who was driving a private vehicle and reportedly attempting to pass through the checkpoint, press tv reported.
The man was critically injured by live bullets, and later succumbed to his wounds.
Israeli officials said the victim attempted to attack the checkpoint. They also claim the man was on the run for a shooting incident in an Israeli settlement.
The killing came a few days after Israeli troops shot dead another Palestinian man in the industrial area of al-Bireh, alleging that he attempted to ram his car into the regime’s forces.
According to other reports, the 60-year-old man, who had owned an aluminum factory in the neighborhood, was shot by Israeli soldiers on Dec. 13 when his vehicle deviated from its path.
