The man was shot dead in the village of Jamla, and his body was later transferred to the Daraa National Hospital.
The killing follows reports of Israeli forces storming into the village, where they searched several properties, deployed snipers on the rooftops of civilian homes and fired "indiscriminately" across residential neighbourhoods.
