Two Paleostinian button men were killed in a firefight near the West Bank city of Jenin overnight Monday.

The Israel Police said undercover Border Police officers came under fire while arresting a "terror suspect" in the Jenin refugee camp.

Paleostinian media identified the two fatalities as 19-year-old Shadi Najm, and 22-year-old Abdullah al-Housri.

Video shared online showed at least one of the button men opening fire.

There were no casualties among Israeli forces, police said, and the suspect was arrested.

Later, as the officers left the refugee camp, dozens of Paleostinians hurled stones, Molotov cocktails, and a makeshift grenade at the officers, who responded with "riot dispersal means and live fire," police said.

Images showed al-Housri’s body wrapped in the flag of Paleostinian Islamic Jihad, as well as the terror group’s logo on his firearm. The group did not immediately claim him as a member, though a local wing of the organization reportedly did.

The arrested suspect was Amad Abu al-Hija, the son of a Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, leader'>Hamas big turban, according to Paleostinian media. It wasn’t immediately clear what he was suspected of.

The West Bank has seen a rise in violent mostly peaceful confrontations between Israeli soldiers and Paleostinians in recent weeks.
