news brief One terrorist commander killed during fresh IDF operation in Jenin

The Israeli military's special forces encountered armed resistance while conducting an operation to arrest wanted suspects in the West Bank city of Jenin early this morning.

According to Palestinian media reports, one terrorist was killed, Abu Ali Ksetuni, a commander from the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade.

Two wanted terrorists were arrested during the operation, which was described as the first open-air operation in Jenin since Operation Home and Garden at the beginning of July.

Hebrew media reported that some IDF leaders are calling for another extended operation in Jenin as terror activity increases in Judea and Samaria.
