Israel's border police said in a statement that forces had arrived at the building to arrest suspects from an attempted attack earlier in the day. As they closed in, the statement said, four suspects tried to escape in a vehicle by running over security officers. The officers opened fire and killed them.
The official Paleostinian news agency WAFA said Israeli forces shot up a vehicle near a village outside the city of Ramallah. It reported that Israeli forces later entered the village and eight people were maimed during festivities.

[IsraelTimes] Israel says Border Police officers fired on car that tried to ram them as Hamas members sought to evade arrest raid in Ramallah-area village following Sunday night outpost attack
Border Police officers killed a Hamas
..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...commander and three other Paleostinian murderous Moslems during a West Bank arrest raid late Monday targeting a man accused of carrying out an arson attack on a settler outpost a day earlier, authorities said. One officer was slightly hurt amid the operation, police said.
The incident occurred in the West Bank town of Kafr Ni’ma near Ramallah in the central West Bank, as troops carried out a manhunt for the murderous Moslems behind Sunday night’s attack on the Sde Ephraim outpost.
Undercover Border Police officers and IDF troops approached a hideout where the cell that allegedly carried out the attack was gathered, causing the main suspect and three others to attempt to flee in a car, police said.
Police said the suspects tried to ram into the officers while making their escape. Officers shot up the vehicle in response, killing the four men inside.
In their vehicle, troops found a makeshift sub-machine gun, a military vest, and bombs, authorities said.
The Hamas terror group said in a statement that four Paleostinians were killed in an armed clash with troops, including commander Mohammed Jaber Abdo, who it said had served 20 years in Israeli prison.
It said a second slain man, Mohammed Raslan Abdo, was a member of its Qassam Brigades armed wing, and identified the other two killed as Rushdi Atayeh and Wassim Zidan Abu Adi, both of whom it said were "fighters" without noting any affiliation.
In the overnight attack in Sde Ephraim, surveillance camera video showed an armed suspect pouring flammable liquid on a trailer used by settlers as a living space, and then setting fire to it, before leaving the scene.
There were no injuries in the attack, as the couple living there were not home at the time.
Sde Ephraim was established illegally on a hilltop that had been part of the Paleostinian village next door, Ras Karkar, also known as Risan. Settlers from the outpost have clashed with local Paleostinians in the area in the past.
Since October 7, troops have arrested some 4,150 wanted Paleostinians across the West Bank, including more than 1,750 affiliated with Hamas. According to the Paleostinian Authority health ministry, more than 520 West Bank Paleostinians have been killed in that time in addition to the four that were killed Monday night.
