The Israeli army on April 20 released a video showing its operation during an ongoing raid in the occupied West Bank city of Tulkarm, with its forces exchanging fire with Palestinian militants in Nur Shams refugee camp.

Reuters was not able to independently confirm the date or location the video was filmed.

The raid, in its second day, has so far left at least two people dead, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.

At least ten of the militants were killed and eight wanted suspects arrested, the Israeli military said, while eight soldiers and one border police officer were wounded in fire exchanges.

Tulkarm Brigades group, which includes militants from numerous Palestinian factions, said its fighters were still exchanging fire with Israeli forces on Saturday. At least three drones were seen hovering above Nur Shams, where Israeli military vehicles were massed and bursts of gunfire were heard.

Violence in the West Bank had already been on the rise before the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza began in October. It has risen further with frequent Israeli raids, Palestinian street attacks and rampages by Jewish settlers in Palestinian villages.

The West Bank and Gaza are among the territories which the Palestinians seek for an independent state. U.S.-brokered peace talks broke down a decade ago.
