The West Bank, among territories where Palestinians seek statehood, has seen a surge of violence.
An Israeli soldier and two Palestinians were killed in overnight clashes Wednesday near a checkpoint in the occupied West Bank, the army and the Palestinian health ministry said.
"An IDF (army) officer was killed overnight during operational activity adjacent to the Gilboa Crossing during an exchange of fire with Palestinian terrorists," an army statement said.
The Palestinian health ministry confirmed "the martyrdom of the two young men" near the checkpoint, north of Jenin.
