Troops of the Duvdevan commando unit, Shin Bet agents, and other IDF soldiers killed two Palestinian gunmen in the Wadi Burqin area near the West Bank city of Jenin, a short while ago, a military source says.

The troops had surrounded a building and carried out a tactic known as “pressure cooker,” which involves escalating the volume of fire against a building to flush suspects out.

After exchanges of fire that lasted some four hours, two gunmen were killed. The military is working to verify their identities.
