Israeli troops are exchanging fire with a wanted Palestinian in the northern West Bank city of Nablus, the IDF, Shin Bet, and Israel Police say.

In a joint statement, the security bodies say that soldiers, members of the police’s Yamam counterterror unit, and Shin Bet agents are operating in eastern Nablus to “thwart terror.”

“There is currently an exchange of fire between the forces and a terrorist in the area,” the statement says.
