JENIN CITY, Palestine (AA) - Israeli forces on Wednesday killed a Palestinian and injured nine others in an incursion into in the northern occupied West Bank, according to Palestinian officials.

Following a raid into the Jenin refugee camp, Palestinian medical teams received the body of the deceased, as well as the nine people who were injured, the Health Ministry said in a statement.

The Israeli forces raided the refugee camp early on Wednesday and surrounded a home, according to eyewitnesses.

Explosions were heard and smoke was seen from the cordoned area around the dwelling, they added.

Clashes between the Israeli forces and Palestinians were also reported in the area.

Clashes have often erupted in recent Israeli raids into Palestinian areas on an almost daily basis, with Tel Aviv saying it is searching for "wanted" Palestinians.
