What really happened from www.haaretz.com :
Israel Defense Forces soldiers from the Golani Brigade's elite Egoz anti-guerilla unit tracked down a bomb-laden car in the Jenin refugee camp on Tuesday morning. Militants had apparently planned to detonate the car next to IDF soldiers in the area.

The car was safely detonated by sappers and troops continued searching for a second car bomb reported to be in the Jenin area, Israel Radio reported.

The incident began when the same unit shot two Palestinian militants whom the IDF said were planting a bomb at the entrance to the city. One of the two, a 20-year-old Fatah activist was killed; the second, from Islamic Jihad, was wounded.

"A military force spotted several people placing explosives with intent to harm the soldiers, and opened fire at them," said an IDF spokeswoman.

A search of the car the two had been travelling in revealed a bomb comprising 24kg of explosives and two gas cylinders. There were no Israeli casualties during the operation.
