Arabic media reported that Israeli troops killed three people in a firefight in Jenin Thursday afternoon.
According to the report, at least two of the fatalities are confirmed to be members of terrorist organizations. One of them terrorists is a member of Islamic Jihad, while the other is a member of Hamas.
Israeli security forces have operated in Jenin multiple times in recent weeks in response to a spate of deadly terrorist attacks.
Last week, IDF, Yamam, and Shin Bet forces came under fire while carrying out an operation to arrest wanted terrorists in Jenin. Six terrorists were killed in the battle, including al-Fattah Hussein Ibrahim Gharusha, the Hamas terrorist who shot and killed 21-year-old Hallel Yaniv and 19-year-old Yagel Yaniv in a shooting attack in the Arab village of Huwara in Samaria last month.
