Firefights erupted in Jenin in the northern West Bank on Thursday between button men and Paleostinian security forces following the theft of vehicles belonging to the Paleostinian Authority, according to AFP journalists in the city.
The intense exchanges of fire began around 9:30 p.m. and followed the deployment of members of the security forces around the Jenin refugee camp, which is adjacent to the city and a stronghold for terror groups in the West Bank, according to the journalist.
Witnesses reported that the Paleostinian security forces set up roadblocks on routes leaving the camp.
Tensions were running high in Jenin earlier in the day after a group of gunnies seized two vehicles belonging to the PA and paraded through the streets waving Islamic Jihad

In a statement, General Anwar Rajab, front man for the security forces, said "a group of outlaws opened fire on the headquarters of the security services" and stole two vehicles.
He said the security forces would "recover the vehicles and hold accountable anyone who committed this act."
Tensions between the PA and terror groups appear to have been exacerbated by recent arrests by the security forces.
At a presser inside Jenin camp, Mahmud Abu Talal, front man for a collective of local armed factions, said the PA had "abandoned its people in the most difficult circumstances."
He rejected the label of outlaws and accused the PA of "carrying out a continuous operation to undermine those who protect their people."
Jenin has long been a bastion of Paleostinian terrorist organizations and was the focus of a major Israeli raid launched at the end of August.
