(JNS ) Israeli forces killed the head of the Hamas terror network in the northern Samaria city of Jenin overnight Monday.
Isser Saadi was eliminated in a gun battle along with another terrorist, according to a joint Israel Defense Forces, Israel Police and Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) statement on Tuesday afternoon.
Three wanted terror operatives were apprehended.
During the operation, troops located weapons, including an M-16 rifle and a handgun, as well as other military gear, inside the terrorists’ hideout.
In a separate encounter, another armed terrorist who posed an immediate threat was killed.
Those detained were handed over to security forces for further investigation.
No IDF soldiers were injured in the mission.
Overnight Monday, Israeli security forces arrested a total of 19 terror suspects, the Israel Defense Forces stated, adding that several of the detainees had been wanted for inciting violence on social media.
“Security forces will continue to act to thwart terror throughout Judea and Samaria in order to maintain the security of the citizens of the State of Israel,” the statement concluded.
