The IDF says it eliminated two Palestinian gunmen in a drone strike in the West Bank city of Tubas a short while ago, amid a commando operation in the area.

Troops of the Duvdevan commando unit were operating in Tubas to detain a wanted Palestinian. Amid the operation, the IDF says the troops spotted several gunmen.

A drone carried out an airstrike against two of the gunmen, killing them. The military says troops of the Kfir Brigade raided the site of the strike and seized an assault rifle, two handguns, and a grenade that was on the bodies of the gunmen.
