A Palestinian medical source told AFP that Alawnah was wounded in Jaba, a village in the Jenin governorate of the northern West Bank.
The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request to comment on the incident.
Forty-nine Palestinians have been killed since late March across Israel and the Palestinian territories; civilians, attackers, and suspected militants among them.
They include Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, who according to the United Nations was killed by Israeli army fire while covering a military raid in Jenin.
