...IDF forces arrived at the village where the wanted Palestinians were allegedly hiding in a building. Soldiers surrounded the structure and called on the Palestinians to come out, but the armed Palestinians attempted to escape and opened fire at the soldiers. The troops returned fire, killing two of the Palestinians.

...Earlier IDF soldiers shot dead a 19-year-old Palestinian near the Dotan army base. The army said the Palestinian was killed after he ignored soldiers’ warnings and infiltrated the base, while the Palestinians claim he was an innocent passerby. ...On Thursday Israeli forces evacuated the Dotan army base in the northern West Bank, southwest of Jenin, marking the completion of the northern West Bank pullout.
