Three Palestinian terror operatives were killed by undercover Border Police officers in the Far’a camp in the northern West Bank this evening, Israeli defense officials say.
The three operatives were involved in smuggling arms, the IDF, Shin Bet, and police say in a joint statement.
Two other wanted Palestinians were detained in the operation.
After the three were shot dead, troops scanned the area and located a dismantled M16 assault rifle buried in the ground and other weapons. A handgun was also found on the body of one of the three operatives, police say.
