The IDF says troops of the Maglan commando unit killed a Palestinian gunman in the Nur Shams refugee camp near Tulkarem in the West Bank earlier today.
The troops encountered a group of gunmen amid an ongoing counter-terrorism operation and exchanged fire with them. One of the gunmen was killed, and his weapon was seized, the military says.
One of the Maglan soldiers was moderately wounded in the incident, and he was taken to a hospital for treatment.
The major counter-terrorism offensive in the northern West Bank, dubbed Operation Iron Wall, was launched on January 21, and the military expects it to last several more weeks. Troops have been operating in the Jenin, Tulkarem, and Tubas areas.
