The Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group confirms the deaths of three members in an Israeli military raid in the northern West Bank this morning.
The gunmen killed in an exchange of fire with Border Police officers in Qabatiya are named by the terror group as Anwar Saba’neh, 25, Raed Hanaysha, 24, and Suleiman Tazazaa, 32.
The IDF and Police said that Hanaysha was wanted for involvement in recent shooting and bombing attacks against soldiers in the West Bank.
Border Police officers surrounded a building in Qabatiya where Hanaysha and the other two gunmen were holed up, and carried out a tactic known as “pressure cooker,” which involves escalating the volume of fire against a building to flush suspects out.
The trio were killed in an exchange of fire, and the military says it seized three assault rifles and other military equipment from the building.
