The military says it has wrapped up a counter-terrorism operation in the West Bank town of Kafr Dan, near Jenin.
In a statement, the IDF says troops of the Duvdevan commando unit encircled a building used by terror operatives and carried out a tactic known as “pressure cooker” that involves escalating the volume of fire directed at a building to force suspects to come out.
The IDF says an attack helicopter was also used to strike the building amid the operation.
The troops killed six gunmen in ensuing clashes and wounded others, the military says.
The Palestinian Authority health ministry confirms that six Palestinians were killed by Israeli troops during the raid.
The IDF says the commandos seized two assault rifles and a handgun that belonged to the gunmen, as well as a car with several explosive devices.
No soldiers were hurt in the raid.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
