An IDF spokesman said that IDF, Shabak, and Border Police forces have been operating in recent hours in the PA-controlled city of Jenin, near the village of Burqin, as well as a number of other locations throughout Judea and Samaria, rounding up suspected terrorists.
During the operation in Jenin, the IDF force came under heavy enemy fire, with soldiers targeted by explosive devices. The force returned fire and a number of enemy combatants were hit. No casualties have been reported to our forces.
The possibility that a number of journalists were wounded by Palestinian gunfire is being looked into. There is no clear indication of what took place in the exchange.
