Israeli troops arrest the alleged terrorists who carried out a deadly shooting attack earlier this week near the West Bank city of Jericho.
The Israel Defense Forces says troops entered the Aqabat Jabr refugee camp, adjacent to Jericho, and arrested two suspected terrorists.
A third suspect who was with the two suspected gunmen was shot as he attempted to flee, the IDF says.
The operation comes as US-Israeli citizen Elan Ganeles, who was killed in the attack on Monday, is being buried.
The IDF says it also seized a handgun during the raid.
