Israeli forces raided the village of Yabad on Wednesday (June 1) night, to demolish the house of a Palestinian assailant Dia Hamarsheh, who had shot dead five people in an Israeli city on March 30.
The house was set up with explosives and blown up during the early hours of Thursday (June 2) morning.
Clashes between Palestinians and Israeli soldiers broke out after dark when the military raided the village.
Medics and residents said villagers threw stones at the soldiers who opened fire on them.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said one man was killed and two others critically wounded. It was not immediately clear whether they had all taken part in the confrontation.
The Israeli military did not immediately comment but confirmed its soldiers were there to destroy the gunman's house.
