Israeli troops arrived in the area shortly after the incident on Saturday and were investigating what happened, the military said.
It gave no further details.
There was no immediate Palestinian comment.
Israeli public broadcaster Kan reported the man was shot and killed after driving into Qalqilya.
His car was later set on fire, it reported.
Violence in the West Bank, already on the rise before the Hamas October 7 assault on southern Israel that sparked the war in Gaza, has further escalated, with stepped-up Israeli military raids, settler violence and Palestinian street attacks.
On Friday, Israeli forces shot and killed two Palestinian gunmen in an exchange of fire during an arrest raid in Qalqilya, Israeli police said.
