Four IDF soldiers were wounded in this morning’s counter-terrorism operation in the northern West Bank city of Tubas after their vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb, the military says.
Two soldiers who had been in the David light armored vehicle at the time of the attack were listed in moderate condition, and another two soldiers were lightly hurt.
The 12-hour operation in Tubas, the nearby town of Tamun and the Far’a camp wrapped up earlier today.
Amid the operation, five Palestinian gunmen were killed, including four in a drone strike, according to the military and Palestinian media.
According to the IDF, a “senior” member of a terror group in the area, who was wanted by Israel, was killed in an exchange of fire with troops.
Hamas identified one of the gunmen as a member of the terror group.
The military says it also seized five M-16 assault rifles and one makeshift submachine gun, along with other weapons, including explosive devices.
Three wanted Palestinians were also detained, the IDF adds.
