The army said troops had uncovered an explosives laboratory in the city and that soldiers had been shot at in several places and returned fire. No injuries were reported on either side.
About 80 jeeps backing several bulldozers entered the city, witnesses said, apparently with the intent of demolishing the explosives lab. Troops placed about 50,000 people under curfew in the center of Nablus and closed the main entrance to the city, witnesses said.
The army spokesman did not immediately say what the jeeps and bulldozers were doing in the city.
Schools and a university in the city announced that they had canceled studies due to the curfew.
