Palestinian media reports say Israeli forces have shot dead three people in the West Bank city of Jenin, including at least two members of armed groups.
The Israel Defense Forces says troops are operating in the Jenin refugee camp, but does not immediately provide further details.
Graphic footage from the scene shows one of the men shot dead outside a store in the city.
The Palestinian Authority health ministry confirms three people have been killed.
Palestinian media outlets say one of the men is a member of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the second of the military wing of Hamas. The affiliation of the third man is unclear.
