The man is the seventh person killed this week as President Mahmoud Abbas seeks to revive statehood talks.
A bullet hole is seen in a shop window following an Israeli military raid in a refugee camp in the West Bank.
The militant Islamic Jihad group claimed the 18-year-old as a member. In a statement, they said he was shot while confronting Israeli soldiers who raided the village of Kafr Dan near the northern West Bank city of Jenin. Violence in the West Bank has surged for over a year, with stepped-up Israeli military raids, increased settler assaults on Palestinian villages and a spate of Palestinian attacks targeting Israelis.
Israel occupied the West Bank, which Palestinians want as the core of an independent state, in a 1967 Middle East war. It has since built Jewish settlements there that most countries deem illegal.
