Al Jazeera Arabic has reported armed clashes between resistance fighters and Israeli-backed Palestinian security forces in the town of Tamoun, located south of Tubas in the occupied West Bank.
The clashes broke out after Palestinian security personnel seized equipment from a residential home in the area, escalating tensions.
Last week the Israeli army reportedly expressed satisfaction over a recent operation carried out by PA forces in the Jenin refugee camp, the Israel Broadcasting Authority (IBA) said.
Operations under Israeli military supervision have involved approximately 300 armed PA personnel over the past two weeks.
Israel’s Central Command has recommended strengthening the PA’s security apparatus and increasing coordination.
Following this advice, the Israeli security cabinet ordered the army to strengthen cooperation with the PA forces.
At least two Palestinian Authority security officers have been killed while targeting Palestinian resistance fighters.
The PA’s operations are conducted in cooperation with Israel and under their supervision.
