RAMALLAH, West Bank — A Palestinian man died after he was shot and appeared to fall from a rooftop in the West Bank while trying to evade arrest by the Israeli security forces on Monday, a police spokesman said. It was the fourth fatal shooting by Israeli forces in the territory this month.

The Palestinian news media identified the man as Mohammad Atta Lafi Abu Latifa, 18. The Israeli police spokesman, Micky Rosenfeld, said Mr. Abu Latifa was shot as he ran across rooftops in the Kalandia refugee camp, near an Israeli-controlled crossing into Jerusalem.

Mr. Rosenfeld said security forces had called out to the man and then fired a shot at his lower body. “He continued to try jump from roof to roof and at some point fell,” he said. He was treated at the scene, Mr. Rosenfeld added, but was pronounced dead.

Mr. Rosenfeld described the victim and another man, who was apprehended, as “wanted terrorists” who were planning “an attack against Israel.” He did not identify either man or provide any further information about them.
