The PIJ said Abdullah al-Hossari was shot and killed in a confrontation that erupted when Israeli special forces entered Jenin. The Palestinian Health Ministry said another man was seriously wounded.
There was no immediate comment about the incident from the IDF.
Local Palestinian media said the dead man was a member of the "Jenin Brigade," a newly formed group affiliated with PIJ. In August, Israel released al-Hossari from detention after 26 months.
Elsewhere, IDF forces opened fire at three suspects who were throwing Molotov cocktails at Israeli cars on Highway 60 in Gush Etzion on Monday night, wounding one of them. The IDF reported that one of the suspects was wounded and taken into custody. He was taken to the hospital for treatment. The two other suspects fled the scene.
