"Israeli" Army raided a village near the West Bank town of Tul Karm on Friday in a search for a wanted Palestinian militant, Palestinian witnesses said.
The raid came one day after four Palestinians were killed and at least 20 wounded when "Israeli" forces pushed into the center of the West Bank city of Ramallah.
Witnesses near Tul Karm said "Israeli" Army soldiers searched houses in the village of Attil, looking for Abdel-Mo`ti Hassan, an Islamic Jihad militant.
The troops entered the village in nearly 20 armored vehicles but left without capturing Hassan, 26, witnesses said.
The "Israeli" Army claimed it was checking the report.
Meanwhile, Palestinians fired three Qassam rockets at the western Negev on Friday, causing no injuries.
One of the rockets damaged the yard of a settlement unit in Sderot, and the second hit a settlement compound.
Islamic Jihad took responsibility for the rocket fire, "Israel" Radio reported.
In the West Bank, security forces arrested two wanted Palestinians before dawn Friday.
Palestinian resistance in Nablus opened fire on "Israeli" troops and threw several explosives at them. There were no injuries.
