Israeli forces and armed Palestinians exchanged fire during an Israeli arrest raid in a refugee camp in the occupied West Bank early Tuesday, leaving two Palestinians dead, Israeli and Palestinian officials said.
One of those killed in the Jenin camp was identified as a 22-year-old member of the Islamic Jihad group; he had been shot in the head. The other was an 18-year-old.
In the arrest raid, Israeli troops from the paramilitary border police surrounded the home of the wanted man who eventually turned himself in.
Israeli forces "opened fire on Jenin camp," according to a statement from the Palestinian health ministry.
Palestinian security sources identified the man killed in Jenin Camp as Abdullah Hosari.
Last week, Israeli forces killed a 14-year-old Palestinian it said had been throwing Molotov cocktails near the city of Bethlehem.
Some 475,000 Jewish settlers live in the West Bank, alongside 2.9 million Palestinians, in settlements widely regarded as illegal under international law.
Israel captured the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem - territories where Palestinians seek statehood - in a 1967 Middle East war.
International criticism of its treatment of Palestinians has been growing since the collapse of the last round of negotiations in 2014.
