Israeli occupation forces have been firing indiscriminately in the West Bank city of Jenin.

Sources in Jenin have told Aljazeera.net that earlier today two settlers were attacked near a settlement in the village of Sabah al- Khar, close to Jenin.

It is unclear who attacked the settlers and what kind of injuries they sustained during the incident.

Israeli occupation forces began to fire intensively in and around Jenin later this evening. Eyewitnesses described seeing Apache helicopters above the city.

A house near Sabah al-Khar was hit by an Israeli tank, local people say that army were trying to demolish the house. The Israelis allege the house is being used as a ''weapons factory'' to assist resistance fighters in Jenin.

Aljazeera.net spoke to eyewitnesses in Sabah al-Khar. One said: ''The tanks came in and there was a lot of shooting going on. The tank then slammed into the side of a building and the we heard Apache helicopters above in the air''.

Unconfirmed report: IAF missiles strike house near Jenin
By Amos Harel, Haaretz Correspondent, Haaretz Service amd agencies

Israel Defense Force tanks fired tank shells at a house on the outskirts of Jenin on Wednesday, apparently after tracking down an Al-Aqsa Brigade gunman who had shot and wounded an Israeli man and
his wife just hours earlier.

An IDF source denied reports that helicopter gunships fired missiles at the house.

A 13-year-old boy was shot and killed by IDF gunfire in the Balata refugee camp, in the West Bank, while Palestinians were throwing rocks, residents said. The residents said the boy was a distance away from the confrontation and was not involved. The IDF said soldiers shot a Palestinian who was throwing firebombs. Also Wednesday, a Border Policeman was lightly wounded by rocks hurled at him in the West Bank village of Ne'alim.
