Palestinian shot dead by Israeli troops at West Bank checkpoint

Relatives said father and son worked in construction and had been driving together to their jobs.

The West Bank, among areas where Palestinians seek statehood, has seen an increase in violence since US-backed peace talks with Israel stalled in 2014.

Tensions have surged after an intensification of raids by Israel in response to a spate of Palestinian street attacks in its cities last year.

A video posted on social media on Sunday, which Reuters could not independently verify, showed a man grappling with two soldiers in an underpass while a third soldier is nearby. In the video, a soldier appears to fire a rifle at a low angle. Another shot is heard, and the man falls out of view.
