IDF continues anti-terror operations against Hamas, kills PIJ terrorist in West Bank
Israeli security forces again operated across Judea and Samaria overnight to arrest wanted suspects and destroy terrorist infrastructure.
Some 1,950 wanted persons have been arrested since the war began, about 1,100 of whom are associated with the Hamas terrorist organization.
Last night, 10 wanted persons were arrested, two of them being affiliated with Hamas. In addition, a weapons production facility was destroyed and several weapons were confiscated.
Israeli forces also eliminated Muhammad Hanawi, an armed terrorist associated with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terror group in Jericho. Hanawi had mobilized a military squad and carried out several shooting attacks against IDF soldiers in recent months.
In addition, Israeli undercover forces, under the direction of Shin Bet intelligence, arrested a squad of terrorists in Nablus belonging to a military unit that have fired at Israeli forces several times recently.
In the village of Romana, the house of the terrorist Kamal Abu Bakr who carried out the shooting attack in Tel Aviv on Aug. 5, was destroyed.
