The death brings to five the number killed in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem al-Quds since US President Donald Trump angered the Palestinians with his plan released last week that heavily favors Israel.
The Palestinian health ministry said Badr Nafla, 19, died after being shot by Israeli forces in the neck during clashes near the northern West Bank city of Tulkarem.
Earlier on Friday, Israel deployed additional forces in Jerusalem al-Quds and occupied West Bank after its soldiers killed four Palestinians in the last two days, Al Jazeera reported.
