Israel security forces on an apparent arrest raid outside the house of a wanted suspect came under fire

Israeli forces killed two Palestinian militants in a pre-dawn gun battle in the occupied West Bank on Sunday, Qazet.az reports according to Palestinian and Israeli officials.

The Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed the death of two men and said six more were wounded in the clash at a house in the Palestinian city of Nablus. The Fatah Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades militant group claimed the two dead as its members.

Israel security forces on an apparent arrest raid outside the house of a wanted suspect came under fire by gunmen and "responded with live fire and other means until neutralising the terrorists inside the house and on its roof," police said.
