It said shots and home-made bombs were fired on soldiers but no injuries were reported among them.
It said the army deployed sharpshooters on rooftops and confiscated a vehicle.
Meanwhile, the occupation army staged search-and-arrest raids in various parts of the West Bank and occupied East Jerusalem and arrested 27 people.
