Three senior terror operatives were killed in an Israeli drone strike in the West Bank city of Tulkarem last night, the IDF and Shin Bet say.

The military says the strike targeted a group of gunmen who were driving in a car.

The Shin Bet identifies the dead as Mohammed Abu Attia, Imad Shahdeh, and Saleh al-Badu, all top members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad behind recent shooting and explosive attacks.

Abu Attia is also suspected of killing Border Police officer Master Sgt. Maxim Razinkov during a raid in the Nur Shams refugee camp in October, the joint IDF and Shin Bet statement adds.
