A Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror operative was captured by Israeli commandos in the West Bank city of Nablus last night, the IDF says.
The military says soldiers of the Duvdevan Commando Unit raided Nablus’s old city following intelligence provided by the Shin Bet on the operative’s whereabouts.
The operative, who in the past was affiliated with the Lion’s Den terror organization, was acting to advance “terror activities,” the army adds.
