Several Palestinian gunmen were killed and four soldiers were wounded during a counter-terrorism raid in the West Bank’s Nur Shams refugee camp, close to Tulkarem, the military said Friday afternoon.

The Israel Defense Forces said its troops and Border Police officers raided Nur Shams overnight, during which several wanted Palestinians were detained, explosive devices were discovered, and several gunmen were killed in clashes throughout the morning.

According to Palestinian media, one person was killed and two others were wounded in the clashes. He was named as 30-year-old Salim Ghannam.

The army said it scanned buildings and used bulldozers to rip up roads where bombs were suspected to have been planted.

An officer of the Marom Brigade and a soldier of the brigade’s elite LOTAR unit were moderately injured, and two soldiers of the Kfir Brigade’s Haruv reconnaissance unit were lightly hurt amid the operation, the IDF said.

Tensions in Israel and the West Bank have soared since October 7, when terrorists burst through the Gaza border into Israel in a Hamas-led attack, killing at least 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and seizing 253 hostages.

Since October 7, Israeli troops have arrested some 3,850 wanted Palestinians across the West Bank, including more than 1,650 affiliated with Hamas, according to the IDF.

The Palestinian Authority health ministry has said more than 450 West Bank Palestinians have been killed in that time. The IDF says the vast majority of them were gunmen or terrorists carrying out attacks.
