Israeli security forces operating in the Shechem (Nablus) area killed Noor Beitawi, the head of Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s terrorist network in Jenin, the IDF said on Friday.

Beitawi was behind numerous terrorist plots and was responsible for planning, funding, and executing attacks targeting Israeli civilians and security personnel. According to Israeli authorities, he also maintained operational ties with Hamas in Gaza and abroad.

The IDF said Beitawi transferred funds to terrorist cells in Jenin and surrounding villages, recruited and armed operatives, and oversaw the production and deployment of explosives aimed at Israel Defense Forces soldiers in the region.

Beitawi had been wanted for several months. He was identified fleeing from Jenin toward Shechem following a counter-terrorism operation in northern Samaria, Israeli officials said.

Acting on intelligence provided by the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), Israeli forces located Beitawi hiding in a residence in Nablus. The home was surrounded, and Beitawi was killed along with another terrorist during the operation.

“Israeli security forces will continue to act against terrorism in Judea and Samaria to ensure the security of Israeli citizens,” the IDF said in a statement.
