Israeli special forces are carrying out a raid in the West Bank town of Kafr Dan, near Jenin, according to the military and Palestinian media.

As troops entered the town they came under fire by Palestinian gunmen.

The troops returned fire, fired shoulder-launched missiles at a target, and an attack helicopter also carried out a strike in the area. Footage shared online shows a military chopper opening fire over the town.

At least three Palestinians are reported killed in the raid, military sources say.
