The Palestinian health ministry said a 23-year-old Palestinian, named Rashid Sada, was killed and another Palestinian civilian was critically wounded by the “settlers’ bullets”.
Benjamin Netanyahu’s office issued a statement, saying he viewed the incident with “utmost severity”.
It said: “Those responsible for any offence will be apprehended and tried.”
The White House said such attacks were “unacceptable and must stop.”
A White House spokesman added: “Israeli authorities must take measures to protect all communities from harm, this includes intervening to stop such violence, and holding all perpetrators of such violence to account.”
