A Palestinian opened fire on Israeli soldiers before they shot him dead in the northern West Bank on Tuesday, the army said, arresting two other assailants.

The military said "shots were fired" at a patrol near Turmus Ayya, and that "forces responded with fire towards the attackers".

"One hit was confirmed and two suspects have been detained at the scene," it said in a statement, with officials confirming the death of one assailant.
