Palestinian security officials said they had found Friday the body of a Palestinian man in a valley by the West Bank village of Baytillo northwest of Ramallah.
The Palestinian security officials said they did not know the circumstances of the death but had started investigating.
Medical sources told AFP the man's head had been badly beaten and that he had died around three days ago, identifying him as Jaber Hamdan al-Hanadsheh, from Hebron, in his 40s.
