In the occupied West Bank, as soldiers pressed day five of raids targeting Palestinian fighters, Israeli police said a “shooting attack” killed three officers, AFP reports.
It took place near the Tarqumiya checkpoint in the Hebron area in the southern West Bank. The military said it “eliminated” the suspected attacker after surrounding a house.
At least 24 Palestinians, including 14 that armed groups said were their members, have been killed since the raids began on Wednesday.
One 20-year-old soldier was killed on Saturday in what Israel’s military has called “counter-terrorism” operations.
In the northern West Bank, an AFP photographer saw Israeli bulldozers in Jenin city centre, a day after an official said soldiers had destroyed most of the streets and power and water had been cut off in the adjacent refugee camp.
