Officers of the Yamam counter-terrorism unit killed three Palestinian terror operatives during a raid in the northern West Bank village of Kafr Qud, near Jenin, police say.
Police say that the Yamam officers operated in the village, following intelligence provided by the Shin Bet and with IDF support, to thwart a terror cell that was planning to carry out an attack.
According to the police, snipers of the Yamam unit opened fire and killed the three operatives who had emerged from a cave in the village.
A short while after that, the Israeli Air Force carried out an airstrike in the area that targeted the cave from which the operatives had emerged, police add.
The IDF confirmed carrying out an airstrike in the Jenin area, without providing additional details.

This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
