A prominent Palestinian Islamic Jihad operative was killed in an Israeli airstrike in the Gaza Strip earlier this week, the IDF and Shin Bet announce.
The strike on Sunday killed Raed Khaled Hassan Jabin, who the military says was a “key” Islamic Jihad operative involved in transferring funds to advance terror attacks from the West Bank.
He was jailed in Israel between 2006 and 2015 for his involvement in Islamic Jihad terror activity, the IDF says.
“In recent years and throughout the war, Jabin operated in several ways to transfer terror funds of the Islamic Jihad terror organization, aimed at advancing and executing terrorist attacks” in the West Bank, the statement says.
