The Israeli army is preparing to storm the mosque in Jenin camp where they say 10 "terrorists" are entrenched, shooting and throwing explosive devices, according to Israeli media.
The army said they had ordered the occupants of the mosque to leave and were to begin a "pressure cooker" procedure that could result in the destruction of the building and its occupants.
Earlier, the local branch of Hamas' armed wing Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades said Palestinian fighters drew Israeli soldiers into an ambush near the al-Ansar mosque before attacking them with heavy gunfire and leaving casualties.
