Two officers in the Palestinian Authority’s Military Intelligence service were killed last night by Israeli special forces in the northern West Bank city of Jenin.

Another Palestinian was shot dead and a second wounded – reported to be the targets of the Israeli operation and members of the Islamic Jihad organization, unsourced Hebrew media said.

The exchange of fire occurred when operators from the Yamam Border Police counterterrorism unit attempted to arrest the two Palestinian targets near a building of the Palestinian Authority’s (PA) Military Intelligence, The Times of Israel reported, citing Palestinian media.

The PA officers were manning a checkpoint when they observed the Israeli arrest operation taking place, and opened fire, reports said.

It is unclear if they were aware they were engaging Israeli security forces as the Yamam unit was operating from civilian vehicles.
