The Israeli army raided the occupied West Bank city of Jenin on Tuesday, Palestinian health officials said, leading to a gunbattle that killed at least six Palestinians and wounded a dozen others.
The military said it had killed the suspected assailant behind a fatal shooting of two Israeli brothers in the northern West Bank town of Hawara last week. Israeli military officials, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter, said two Israeli forces were wounded in Tuesday’s firefight in Jenin, one seriously.
The Jenin brigade, a loosely organized armed group based in the refugee camp, said its militants shot and hurled explosive devices at Israeli soldiers. The troops had surrounded the suspect’s home on the outskirts of the densely populated Jenin refugee camp, a hub of militant activity. Videos showed black smoke billowing in the distance after the army fired missiles at the besieged building.
