An Israeli aircraft struck a car in the West Bank, killing a group of armed terrorists, the IDF reported on Thursday.
The attack eliminated three senior Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives: Mohammed Abu Atiya, Imad Shahadeh and Salah al-Bado. The three had been involved in shootings, bombings and plotting terror attacks against Israeli communities and security forces. Abu Atiya was also suspected of killing Israeli Border Police officer Sgt. Maj. Maxim Rizkov in October last year.
