A local wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group claims to have opened fire at the northern Israeli town of Gan Ner.
The Jenin-based group publishes unclear footage, purportedly showing the town from a distance, before gunshots are heard.
There are no reports of damage of injuries.
The alleged shooting comes after a young Arab Israeli man was shot dead near the town yesterday, in an apparent roadside brawl. The suspect who opened fire has been arrested.
Palestinian gunmen in the northern West Bank have targeted Israeli settlements and towns along the security barrier several times in recent months.
