<p>Earlier in the day, a Palestinian man had been killed by Israeli soldiers while being detained at the Anab checkpoint, east of Tulkarm.</p>
<p>In Beit Imrin, northwest of Nablus, Israeli troops beat and injured four Palestinian men.</p>
<p>The Palestine Red Crescent Society said its medics treated the four and took them to hospital.</p>
