'It’s time for the population to tell these terrorist thugs, enough, stay away from us,' the IDF's Arabic-language spokesman tweeted.

The IDF says it carried out operations in Khan Yunis and Rafah, eliminating terrorists in tank and aerial strikes and close-quarters combat.

An Israeli drone provided close air support to troops and opened fire on the terrorists.

The operation ended without any Israeli casualties, and the wanted terrorist, in his 50s, was taken for questioning by security officials.

In the latest example of Palestinians promoting death and destruction, they named a city square after terrorist Maher Younis.

Demonstrating they are not interested in peace and only in perpetuating hate and violence, Palestinians attacked two female IDF soldiers who mistakenly entered the Palestinian city of Tulkarem, but luckily were rescued by Israeli security forces.

After a Palestinian Authority policeman attacked three Israeli soldiers near the Palestinian city, the IDF is taking measures to prevent similar acts of terror.
