Israeli security forces carried out counterterrorism operations in Jenin over the past two days as part of a series of actions in the northern West Bank, the IDF announced Thursday.
During the operation, an Israeli aircraft targeted and killed three armed terrorists operating in the sector, some of whom were involved in recent shooting attacks on military positions and Israeli communities. Secondary explosions were observed following the strike, indicating the presence of weapons and explosives in the area, the military said.
In subsequent clashes, six additional armed terrorists were killed. Forces also destroyed four bomb-making labs and dozens of explosive devices planted under roadways, according to the IDF.
