JERUSALEM  Israeli soldiers shot and killed a Palestinian man as he approached a checkpoint in the northern West Bank early Sunday holding a glass bottle, the military said.

Palestinian officials condemned the killing, noting that it was the second death of the weekend in the West Bank. A Palestinian woman died Saturday after inhaling tear gas fired by Israeli forces a day earlier at a protest in the village of Bilin against Israel’s separation barrier nearby.

The Israeli military said the man had approached the checkpoint in an unauthorized lane and failed to heed the soldiers’ orders to stop. The soldiers followed operational procedures and opened fire, a military spokeswoman said. It was not clear whether the man was acting in a threatening way. The spokeswoman said the details of the episode were being examined.

The rising tension in the West Bank comes amid an impasse in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. Peace talks broke down in September after a temporary Israeli moratorium on construction in West Bank settlements expired.
