Earlier Sunday with the direction of the ISA, an Israeli Air Force aircraft struck and eliminated a terrorist cell that carried out several shooting attacks against communities in the Gilboa area, according to the IDF. The head of the cell who was eliminated in the strike in Jenin, was Wael Lahluh, 31, a resident of Qabatiya. Lahluh carried out the shooting attack at the Mehola junction on August 11, 2024 - an attack in which Yonatan Deutsch was killed and another Israeli civilian was injured. After carrying out the attack, Lahluh continued to operate in Jenin, recruiting terrorists and planning to carry out additional terror attacks in the near future. Immediately after the strike, IDF soldiers conducted a targeted raid in the area and located three weapons on the bodies of the terrorists. Moreover, additional weapons parts, military vests and explosive materials were located.
