The IDF reported that an Air Force aircraft targeted and killed two terrorists who posed a threat to Israeli forces during an anti-terror operation in Nablus in the West Bank.
The army said that during the operation, terrorists opened fire and threw explosives at the forces, who responded with gunfire, hitting their targets.
Additionally, the Air Force conducted a strike, neutralizing two armed men who were endangering the troops.
One of the assailants was identified as Wael Mashah, who was released from Israeli prison in November as part of a deal for the freedom of Israeli hostages held in the Gaza Strip.
Meanwhile, IDF and Border Police forces secured the entry of pilgrims to the holy shrine of Joseph's Tomb in Nablus.
