RAMALLAH, West Bank—Undercover Israeli forces on a raid to arrest a Hamas suspect from a refugee camp in the occupied West Bank exchanged fire with terrorists on Monday, Israeli police said, while a Palestinian local official said at least four Palestinians were killed.

The incident occurred at a camp in the city of Jenin, where, Israeli police said in a statement, special forces disguised as Palestinians came under heavy fire from “a large number” of terrorists while on a mission to detain a terror suspect.
