STORYLINE:
At least six people were injured in a shooting attack at a checkpoint in the Israeli-occupied West Bank early Tuesday morning, according to the Israeli military and area hospitals.
The Israeli military said an attacker fired at soldiers at a checkpoint in the village of Tayasir, which is in the northern West Bank.
In a tense exchange, soldiers returned fire and the attacker was killed, the military added.
Israeli hospitals said they had received a total of six people injured in the shooting attack.
Local media reported the injured were soldiers and at least two of them were critically injured.
Israel has carried out an extensive operation in nearby Jenin over the past weeks to clamp down on what Israel said is militant activity in city, as soldiers and armored bulldozers have caused widespread damage and destroyed scores of homes.
Palestinian health officials have not released a total death toll, but say Israeli fire has killed at least 20 Palestinians since the start of the raid.
The West Bank has seen a surge in violence since Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack out of the Gaza Strip ignited the war there.
