(JNS) Two armed Palestinian terrorists were killed in a firefight with Israeli security forces in Kafr Dan, near Jenin, overnight Wednesday, Ynet reported on Thursday.
One of the gunmen was named as Sha’as Kamamji, a Palestinian Islamic Jihad member and the brother of Iham Kamamji, one of six Palestinian security prisoners who escaped Gilboa prison in September 2021 and was recaptured in Jenin shortly afterward.
According to the Israel Defense Forces, violent disturbances broke out during Israeli counter-terror operations in the village, with Palestinian rioters hurling explosives and shooting at the Israeli troops, who responded with live fire. No Israeli casualties were reported.
The operation in Kafr Dan was part of a wider series of counter-terror operations in Judea and Samaria on Wednesday night, including raids in Balata, Hebron and Beit Omer. Eighteen suspects were arrested and two weapons seized, along with a number of IDF uniforms, according to the military.
