The IDF announced Sunday morning that an Israeli aircraft carried out an airstrike against terrorists in the Jenin region in northern Judea and Samaria. The operation targeted a cell of four men who had been under surveillance for several weeks. According to security officials, the strike was carried out in a village near Kabatiya, south of Jenin. This action is not directly related to the ground operations currently carried out by the IDF in the region, but resulted from a tactical opportunity following the identification of the cell.
Military sources indicate that some of the eliminated terrorists were involved in recent shooting attacks against Israeli military positions and settlements. This operation is part of a series of targeted actions carried out by Israeli forces in the Jenin sector, considered a stronghold of Palestinian armed groups. The Israeli military has maintained an increased presence in the region for several months, in response to an increase in terrorist activity.
