On Tuesday, the Israeli army raided the West Bank city of Jenin, during a major operation that involved dozens of vehicles, said Palestinian health authorities.
The raid led to the killing of seven Palestinians, including a doctor. The Israeli troops said the operation targeted armed militants in the city.
Protected by Israeli forces in at least 20 vehicles, heavy-tracked armoured bulldozers tore up streets near the centre of the city.
Authorities said, a teacher and a doctor, both of whom were on their way to work in the city, were among seven people killed. As the operation by Israeli forces continued throughout the morning, there was no immediate information on the identity of the other dead or the nine wounded.
Reportedly the specialist surgeon of the hospital was among the dead after being shot while on his way to work.
The occupied West Bank has seen a surge in violence since the start of the war in Gaza last year. Palestinians want this area as the core of a future independent state along with Gaza.
Since the start of the war, hundreds of Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, many of them armed militants fighting Israeli troops but others including stone-throwing youths or uninvolved civilians. Several have also been killed in conflicts with Israeli settlers.
Palestinians have also killed more than a dozen Israelis.
