By TPS

Israeli Special Forces operating in the Palestinian Authority (PA) city of Jenin in Samaria on Monday night encountered fierce and violent resistance and engaged in a gun battle, in which several terrorists were shot.

Operating to “counter terrorism,” the police stated that its elite Yamam unit encountered massive gunfire, and terrorists throwing explosive devices, firebombs and rocks.

Deploying “advanced means and capabilities,” the Israeli forces returned fire at the terrorists.

Several of the terrorists were reportedly hit. Some reports say that at least six terrorists were shot, including some in serious condition.

There were no Israeli casualties, and minor damage was done to their armored vehicles.

Israeli forces operating in Jenin in recent weeks have repeatedly encountered a violent pushback by the local population, leading them to properly prepare for all scenarios and extremities before leaving on a counterterrorism mission in the city.
