Four soldiers injured in West Bank firefight — IDF

A special forces soldier was seriously wounded during clashes in the West Bank overnight, the Israel Defense Forces says, and three other troops in the Duvdevan commando unit were moderately hurt during the firefight in the Balata refugee camp adjacent to Nablus in the northern West Bank.

Troops had been attempting to carry out an arrest at a building in the camp as part of an operation that began Sunday night, when they were fired on from inside. One gunman was killed and another wounded, according to the IDF.

Elsewhere, the army says troops killed a Palestinian accused by Israel of planning and executing attacks on troops in the area. A statement from the army says Abed Shaheen had recently attempted to put together a cell to attack soldiers near Nablus.

Six people were arrested during the overnight raids, the army says.
