The Israel Defense Forces says troops came under fire from Palestinian gunmen in the West Bank town of Tammun overnight.

According to the IDF, no soldiers have been hurt, and the troops returned fire at the gunmen’s car as they fled the scene.

A local wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group claims responsibility for opening fire at troops in the town.

Troops detain seven wanted Palestinians during overnight raids in other areas of the West Bank, the IDF adds.
