Israeli troops raid Jenin

The Israeli army has arrested a number of Palestinian militants - including a local commander of the militant group Hamas - on a brief incursion into the West Bank town of Jenin.
The incursion, which was reported over around midday on Tuesday, followed a Palestinian suicide attack that killed two Israelis, one of them a baby, and injured more than 30 others in the town of Petah Tikva outside Tel Aviv.

Israeli tanks, supported by helicopters, moved into Jenin early on Tuesday, sparking clashes with Palestinian gunmen, according to local witnesses. One Palestinian was reportedly killed in the exchange of fire.
