A local wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad in the northern West Bank city of Jenin releases footage of Friday’s attack on IDF troops in the town of Silat ad-Dhahr.

The clip shows gunmen opening fire at an army post near the Homesh outpost, before fleeing the scene.

Troops searching after the gunmen then encounter an explosive device planted in the area ahead of time by the gunmen.

Seven troops were wounded by the blast, including three in moderate condition, the IDF said.
