Israeli Special Forces killed an Islamic Jihad militant and two Palestinian security men in an exchange of fire during a raid in the occupied West Bank on Thursday.
The Special Forces had entered the Palestinian city of Jenin to detain gunmen suspected of having recently attacked Israeli troops, an Israeli security source said.
The two Palestinian officers may have been killed in a possible case of misunderstanding.
Palestinian Authority (PA) security personnel seldom clash with their Israeli counterparts and usually keep clear of Israeli raids in the West Bank.
Israeli media reported that special forces went into Jenin to arrest two operatives from the Islamic Jihad militant group when they came under fire. One of the Palestinian suspects was killed, in addition to the two security officers, the media reports said.
