Israeli security forces arrested a number of students during a raid on the An-Najah National University campus overnight, the Palestinian Wafa news agency reports.
According to Wafa, the overnight raid marks the first time that Israeli forces have entered the university in over 30 years.
Footage shared on social media appears to depict a military vehicle arriving at what the posters say is the university, while other footage shows soldiers entering what is said to be the university campus.
According to reports, the two Palestinians who breached a roadblock and opened fire at troops near the West Bank settlement of Metzad yesterday were both students at the university.
There is no immediate comment from the Israel Defense Forces.
