The IDF says its forces are operating in the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank.
A terse statement from the military says it will provide updates later on the rare daytime raid.
A local wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad said its members opened fire and hurled explosives at the Israeli force.
Palestinian media reports said troops launched a missile at a building where wanted Palestinians were apparently holed up, in a tactic known as a “pressure cooker,” to flush the suspects out.

Jenin is widely seen as a hotbed of terrorist activity and has been the focus of many of the raids.
