IDF says 3 gunmen killed in airstrike, clashes during day-long West Bank raid

The IDF says it has wrapped up a day-long raid in the West Bank’s Nur Shams camp near Tulkarem, during which three gunmen were killed in an airstrike and in clashes with troops.

The operation was carried out by the Kfir Brigade’s Haruv reconnaissance unit, alongside Border Police and Shin Bet forces.

Amid the raid, a drone strike was carried out against two gunmen who were shooting at the troops, the army says, publishing footage of the incident.

Also amid the operation, Haruv soldiers killed another operative who “posed a threat” and wounded several other gunmen in clashes, the IDF says.

Several explosive devices planted under and along roads in Nur Shams were neutralized by Border Police officers and combat engineers during the operation.

The IDF also releases drone footage showing gunmen operating at the entrance to a hospital in Tulkarem. The video shows one gunman handing over an assault rifle to another at the medical center compound.
