The Israeli military said it launched the raid into the West Bank refugee camp in Jenin to detain members of the Islamic Jihad armed group which it accused of having carried out and planned "multiple major terror attacks".
They say their troops were shot at by Palestinian gunmen.
The death toll - the highest in Jenin in years - has been described as a "massacre" by Palestinians.
