Muatazz Sharawnah, 19, died on Tuesday from wounds sustained during clashes with Israeli forces in Dura overnight Monday.
Initial reports indicated that Sharawnah was hit by an Israeli military vehicle during the overnight clashes, with a Palestinian security source saying he was struck "deliberately" by Israeli forces.
The director of Hebron's Alia hospital later said that forensics had confirmed that Sharawnah was shot with an expanding "dum-dum" bullet.
An Israel military spokeswoman confirmed an incident in the town, but said initial reports suggested soldiers had fired at a youth who had climbed onto a military vehicle.
Palestinian sources said an autopsy would be conducted to determine the cause of death, meaning the funeral would take place at 4.30 p.m. in Dura.
Following the incident, shops and business were closed throughout the town as a sign of mourning, an AFP correspondent said.
Sharawna's death raised to nine the number of Palestinians killed in clashes with the Israeli army in the occupied West Bank since the start of the year, six of whom died in the Hebron area, Palestinian officials said.

An Israeli court issued a ruling forbidding any publication of news concerning the kidnap of Palestinian citizen Wael Abu Reida from Egypt last month. The Israeli attorney general told Reuters that he received papers of Abu Reida’s case on 22nd June and assigned lawyer Kamal Al-Zaydne to defend him in court.
When the agency phoned Zaydne he said that the case was of security nature rather than a homicide, adding that he did not know how Zaydne was transferred to Israel.
The lawyer would not elaborate further citing the court’s restriction order.
Abu Reida, who lives in Khuza’a town to the east of Khan Younis south of the Gaza Strip, had travelled to Egypt for medical treatment when he was abducted there, his wife, who was with him, said.
