Israeli security forces busted a Palestinian terror cell in Jenin on Friday morning planning an imminent attack, the Israel Defense Forces announced.
Five terror fugitives were arrested and security forces confiscated ammunition and military equipment. During the operation, Israeli forces fired at armed Palestinians who shot and threw an explosive device at them.
Meanwhile, Israeli soldiers arrested wanted Palestinian fugitives in the villages of Azariya and Ha’Abu Najim.
In Azariya, Palestinians threw Molotov cocktails and stones at the Israeli forces, who responded with riot dispersal measures.
Israeli forces also confiscated military equipment and cartridges were confiscated in Kfar Samua, near Hebron.
No Israeli personnel were injured during any of the counter-terror operations.
In recent days, Israel was attacked by rocket fire from both Gaza and Lebanon, intercepted a suspected Iranian drone from Syria and forced to confront Islamist Palestinians barricaded inside the Al Aqsa Mosque during Ramadan.
In addition, a British-Israeli woman and her two daughters were killed in a drive-by shooting in the northern Jordan Valley while an Italian tourist was killed by Arab-Israeli who rammed his car into pedestrians on a Tel Aviv seaside promenade. Another seven people — tourists from Italy and Britain — were injured.
