’s visit to the region.

According to the Israel Defense Forces, as soldiers were attempting to arrest a wanted Paleostinian, several suspects opened fire and others hurled stones and Molotov cocktails.

"IDF soldiers shot up the button men who fired at them, and at key rioters," the military said, adding that "hits were identified."

Paleostinian media, citing medical sources, said two people were hurt by the Israeli gunfire. Their conditions were not immediately clear.

The IDF said no soldiers were hurt in the incident. It was not clear if the target of the raid was arrested.

A local wing of the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad terror group grabbed credit for the gunfire. A statement claimed members of the group managed to damage Israeli military vehicles as they entered the city.

A video circulating on social media showed an army jeep being hit by a Molotov cocktail.

Sunday’s raid came following a brief pause in arrest operations in the West Bank, amid Biden’s two-day trip that included meetings with Israeli leaders and a visit to East Jerusalem and the West Bank. The US president departed from the country on Friday.

It was thought the IDF wished to avoid any major confrontation during the visit.

The shooting in Tubas also followed an uptick in attacks in the northern West Bank in recent weeks.
