Israeli forces killed four Palestinians in the West Bank city of Jenin on Tuesday, the Palestinian health ministry reports.

The ministry did not provide further details on the fatalities, while the Palestinian Red Crescent Society says they were killed in a drone strike on the Old City.

The IDF says it is operating in Jenin and the adjacent refugee camp to detain wanted Palestinians suspected of involvement in terror activities.

It says there have been clashes between troops and Palestinian gunmen and suspects hurling explosives.

A drone strike was carried out against a group of Palestinians hurling explosives at the troops, according to the IDF.

The IDF is aware of several armed Palestinians who were killed and wounded in the clashes and the strike.

Troops have also found firearms and explosives during the raid, according to the IDF.
