In one of the largest operations in years, IDF forces killed three PIJ terrorists during a raid in Jenin Thursday morning. The group was reportedly planning a major terror attack in Israel.
A total of at least nine suspects were killed. One wanted terrorist was arrested.
Gaza terror groups vow to respond ‘soon,’ saying they’re ready for a confrontation with Israel.
“IDF & Israeli security forces conducted an intel-based counterterrorism operation to apprehend an Islamic Jihad terror squad in the Jenin Camp.
The terrorists were heavily involved in planning & executing multiple major terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians & soldiers.
The terrorist squad opened fire on the security forces, instigating a crossfire during which three terrorists were neutralized.
The security forces operated to surround the building in which the suspects were located. Two armed suspects were identified fleeing the scene & were neutralized, while another suspect in the building surrendered himself to security forces.
The soldiers neutralized an armed suspect at the scene, where armed suspects opened fire toward the security forces, who responded with live fire. Hits were identified. Claims regarding additional casualties during the exchange of fire are being looked into.”

Since the Jenin operation, Gazans have again begun sending missiles into Israel. Incoming rocket sirens were heard in Ashkelon, Zikim, and Karmia. The Iron Dome intercepted multiple rockets.
