Footage published by Palestinian media claims to show undercover officers walking through the streets of Nablus early this morning, dressed up as a group of Palestinian men and women, ahead of an operation in which the men allegedly responsible for the murders of Lucy, Rina and Maia Dee were killed.

In a joint statement, the Shin Bet security agency, Israel Police, and Israel Defense Forces say that troops entered Nablus’s Old City in order to arrest Hassan Qatnani and Moaz al-Masri, the Hamas terrorists who allegedly carried out the deadly shooting attack in the Jordan Valley on April 7.
Members of the police elite Yamam counter-terrorism unit surrounded the home where the two terrorists were believed to be hiding. The forces fired a shoulder-launched missile at it, according to Palestinian media, in a tactic known as a “pressure cooker,” to flush out the wanted suspects.
