Israeli forces have killed two Palestinian militants in the West Bank wanted for a shooting attack on police.

The two men were killed in a gun battle with Israeli forces in the heart of the city of Nablus.

The IDF said it entered Nablus to arrest two individuals wanted over a shooting earlier this month at Israeli police in a West Bank settlement that resulted in no casualties.

IDF troops entered Nablus earlier on Friday and surrounded a house in the Old City, a stronghold of armed Palestinian groups, before calling on those inside to turn themselves in.
