Two IDF soldiers were injured after Palestinians opened fire on them in Jenin, where the IDF came in pursuit of an Islamic Jihad terrorist.
One Palestinian was killed, and another five wounded.
The soldiers entered Jenin around midday and surrounded the home of a wanted Islamic Jihad terrorist.
After soldiers were attacked by gunfire and explosives that left two soldiers wounded, the IDF shot back and killed one 18-year-old stone-thrower. Palestinian medical officials said the teen, identified as Yussef Tzadek, died later at a nearby hospital. The officials said five other Palestinians were wounded.
Jenin is considered a stronghold of Islamic Jihad, a militant group that has carried out numerous attacks despite a fragile truce between Israel and the Palestinians.
