Israeli forces raided the town of Qabatiya, near Jenin, to arrest two Palestinians, the witnesses said.
One Palestinian was injured by Israeli fire, while another was run over by a military vehicle, medical sources said.
Israeli forces raided and searched a number of houses in the town, witnesses said.
According to the Palestinian Prisoner Society NGO, 11 Palestinians were detained by Israeli forces in raids in several areas in the West Bank on Wednesday.
