An Israeli soldier was killed and five were wounded during an exchange of fire with Palestinian gunmen in the Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank earlier today, the military announces.
Staff Sgt. Liam Hazi, 20, of the Kfir Brigade’s Haruv reconnaissance unit, from Rosh Haayin, was killed amid a major Israeli anti-terror operation in the northern West Bank launched last week.
Among the five wounded troops, one is listed in serious condition, three are moderately hurt, and one is in good condition, the army adds.
According to an initial IDF probe, the Haruv troops exchanged fire with several gunmen after entering a building in the Jenin camp.
