Undercover Border Police officers killed a wanted Palestinian in the West Bank city of Nablus earlier today, police say.
The officers and IDF troops entered the Balata camp adjacent to Nablus to detain a wanted Palestinian. Police say the suspect spotted the troops and attempted to flee the area while armed with a handgun. The Border Police officers then shot him dead.
Several more gunmen and rioters hurling explosives were shot by troops in the area, police add.
