IDF tanks are shelling the Palstinian Authority's General Intelligence Service headquarters in the West Bank village of Salfit at this hour.
There are no reports of casualties, Israel Radio reports.
The shelling comes in the wake of this morning's lethal shooting attacks on a civilian convoy and soldiers at an army roadblock nearby.
Nine Israelis were killed - seven soldiers and two civilians - and at at least six are wounded after Palestinians opened fire at the roadblock, close to the Samaria community of Ofra.
