The Israel Defense Forces say that troops killed nine Palestinian gunmen during a two-day raid in the West Bank city of Jenin.

The military says three armed men who had carried out a series of shooting attacks were killed in a drone strike. The military says that after the strike, secondary explosions were seen, indicating that there were weapons stored at the site.

The military publishes footage of the strike.

In addition, six other gunmen were killed in clashes with troops, the army says.

Hamas claimed at least three of the slain gunmen.

The IDF says it also destroyed four facilities used to manufacture explosives, recovered weapons caches, and detonated bombs buried under the roads.
