IDF troops are conducting scans near the West Bank settlement of Talmon, close to Ramallah, after gunfire was heard in the area, the military says.

The IDF says it dispatched troops to the settlement area after it received reports of shooting from the direction of the Palestinian village of Ein Qiniya. No injuries were caused in the incident.

The troops are scanning the area, blocking roads, and encircling Ramallah, the army says.
