Israeli forces have withdrawn from the Balata camp, east of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, after an hours-long raid in which at least two Palestinians were injured, Al Jazeera reports.

The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades has said that it ambushed Israeli forces with gunfire and bombs during the raid, according to the Palestinian Shehab news agency.

Israeli forces have conducted raids across the occupied West Bank tonight. Earlier, a 17-year-old Palestinian was shot and killed by Israeli forces during an ambush in Beit Rima, northwest of Ramallah, while at least seven more were injured.
