IDF troops kill 3 gunmen, wound 1 in West Bank raid; 10 arrested

The Israel Defense Forces says that troops operating in the northern West Bank killed three gunmen and wounded another one in an early-morning raid.

The military says that troops, working together with police special forces and Shin Bet agents, “encountered a number of armed terrorists who had barricaded themselves in a building in Jenin, and after an exchange of fire, they killed two of the terrorists and wounded another terrorist.”

In a separate incident, also in Jenin, troops from the Duvdevan unit killed a gunman who opened fire on them.

The army says 10 other gunmen were arrested including a senior leader in the Jenin area.

In addition, troops located two vehicles in Jenin that contained weapons and were intended to be used to carry out attacks and destroyed them, the army says.

There were no injuries to Israeli forces.

The raid comes amid a weekslong Israeli operation in the West Bank, dubbed  the “Iron Wall.”
