Several Palestinian gunmen were killed and four troops were wounded during a counter-terrorism raid in the West Bank’s Nur Shams refugee camp, close to Tulkarem, the military says.

The IDF says troops and Border Police officers raided Nur Shams overnight, during which several wanted Palestinians were detained, explosive devices were discovered, and several gunmen were killed in clashes throughout the morning.

According to Palestinian media, one person was killed and two others were wounded.

A soldier of the LOTAR unit and an officer of the Marom Brigade were moderately injured, and two soldiers of the Kfir Brigade’s Haruv reconnaissance unit were lightly hurt amid the operation, the IDF says.
