At least four Palestinian gunmen were killed by Israeli troops during a raid in the West Bank city of Qabatiya, near Jenin, according to military sources.

Troops of the Duvdevan commando unit have surrounded a building in the area where a wanted Palestinian is holed up.

The commandos have been exchanging fire with gunmen in the area, and using a tactic known as “pressure cooker” that involves escalating the volume of fire directed at a building to force a suspect to come out.

No Israeli troops have been hurt in the operation so far.
