Also early Sunday, the Israeli military said its troops shot a Palestinian who hurled a Molotov cocktail at a bus near Hebron. The army gave no other details, including the man's condition.
More than 120 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank and east Jerusalem this year, making 2022 the deadliest year since 2015.
Israel says most of the Palestinians killed have been militants. But stone-throwing youths protesting the incursions and others not involved in confrontations have also been killed.
Israel captured the West Bank in the 1967 Mideast war, along with east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip. The Palestinians seek those territories for their hoped-for independent state.
