The IDF announced Thursday morning that gunmen opened fire on Israeli soldiers during an operational activity for a wanted arrest in Nablus. The soldiers responded with fire and killed one of the terrorists, with no casualties to the IDF force.
After learning of his death, Shechem residents went marching in the night in a massive demonstration:

WAFA’s version of the same event went: “Israeli forces Thursday morning killed a Palestinian youth during clashes to the east of the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, security sources confirmed. The sources told WAFA that clashes broke out after the Israeli forces raided the Nablus-area suburb of Balata al-Balad, and opened fire towards Palestinian protestors, critically injuring Bakeer Hashash, 22, who later succumbed to his wounds.”
Gaza Now tweeted the story with these two images of the dead man.

However, a different, perhaps more telling image of the same man was posted on Facebook:
So now you know.
