STORYLINE:

Israeli forces clashed with Palestinians early Thursday at a refugee camp and entered a town, Palestinians said, after a woman blew herself up at an Israeli army checkpoint in the West Bank.

At the Balata refugee camp next to Nablus, a gunman was killed and five were wounded in clashes with Israeli forces that began after midnight and continued until after daybreak.

The gunman was the 1,000th person killed on the Palestinian side since violence erupted on September 28, 2000. On the Israeli side, 288 people have been killed.

Palestinians said Israeli forces fired two missiles at Balata, knocking out electricity in the camp, a stronghold of militias linked to Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement.

Israeli forces moved into a Nablus street across from the camp several days ago, taking over apartment buildings and parking tanks along the street.

Up to now, Israeli forces have stayed out of the camp.

Militias headquartered in Balata have taken responsibility for many recent attacks against Israelis.
