Gunmen believed to be from the Palestinian resistance opened fire on Friday night at an Israeli military post located west of Jenin city in the occupied West Bank.
Local sources told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that armed men showered the watchtower of the Salem military base west of Jenin with volleys of bullets at around two o’clock after midnight.
The sources added that the gunmen were aboard a vehicle and withdrew from the area where the Israeli army immediately dispatched a large number of troops.
Citizens from the nearby towns of Rummanah and Zabuba also reported hearing gunshots at the time of the attack.
Consequently dozens of Israeli soldiers and military vehicles stormed Palestinian areas around the Salem base especially Rummanah and Zabuba towns and established roadblocks at their entrances.
