Palestinian reported killed in clash near Hebron; wanted gunman killed in northern West Bank raid — IDF

Official Palestinian news outlet WAFA reports that a Palestinian man died after suffering a head injury during clashes with troops in Dura, a West Bank city near Hebron.

There is no immediate comment from the military on the incident, but the IDF acknowledges that it killed a wanted Palestinian gunman during an attempt to arrest him in the northern West Bank town of Yamun earlier this morning.

As the elite Duvdevan unit attempted to arrest the wanted man, he opened fire at the soldiers, whereupon they returned fire, killing him, the IDF says.

According to the IDF, 19 other wanted Palestinians were detained in overnight raids across the West Bank.

During a raid in the Jenin camp in the northern West Bank, the IDF says, engineering vehicles uncovered explosive devices hidden under the roads, and troops detained two terror suspects.

The IDF says troops also returned fire at gunmen who opened fire and hurled explosives at the forces in Jenin.

The army also carried out raids in the Nablus area, including in the city itself and the nearby Askar and Balata camps.

Since October 7, troops have arrested more than 2,960 wanted Palestinians across the West Bank, including more than 1,350 affiliated with Hamas. According to the Palestinian Authority health ministry, more than 300 West Bank Palestinians have been killed in that time.
