Early on April 2, three members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) were killed as a result of a new Israeli operation in the occupied West Bank.
Clashes broke out when the Palestinian gunmen opened fire on an Israeli team from the Border Police’s elite Yamam unit that attempted to arrest them in the village of Arraba, southwest of the city of Jenin.
Four Israeli troops were hurt during the clashes. One of them sustained serious wounds. He was reportedly flown by helicopter to Rambam Medical Center in the northern city of Haifa, where went under surgery.
The three gunmen had been under surveillance by the Shin Bet security service for several hours ahead of the clashes. The Israeli Police said that gunmen were on their way to carrying out an attack.
“Information was received of a terror squad on its way to commit an attack,” police said, adding that the gunmen were involved in what it called “terror activities” against Israeli security forces.
According to the police, the operation in Arraba was the result of a joint effort involving Yamam, the Shin Bet and the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).
The police released images of the weapons which were allegedly found in the gunmen’s vehicle, including an M16 assault rifle with IDF marks, at least two 30-round magazines and a hand grenade. A hand written will signed with the name of the PIJ was also found.

A few hours after the operation in Arraba, the IDF said its troops arrested a Palestinian in the village of Shuweika near Tulkarm city, suspected of being linked to the same PIJ cell. An M4A1 Carbine and two 30-roud magazines were found with the suspect.

In a statement, the PIJ confirmed that the three Palestinians killed in Arraba were members of its military wing, the al-Quds Brigades. The group identified the three gunmen as Khalil Tawalbeh, Saeb Abhera and Saif Abu Libdeh.

Arraba operation came in the wake of a series of attacks in Israel that claimed the lives of eleven people, including several police officers.
Israel tightened its security measures in the West Bank in response to these attacks, which led to more tensions with Palestinians in the region.
Violence could spread from the West Bank to the Palestinian Gaza Strip. The PIJ has already vowed to respond to the assassination of its three members in Arraba. The group is the second largest armed faction in Gaza after the Hamas Movements, which also condemned the Israeli operation in Arraba.
FUCKING NAZI KIKE BITCHES GETTING A TINY TASTE OF THEIR OWN SHIT. LOL LMAO THEM IDIOTS
Is something wrong when the freedom fighters fail to kill more occupiers when they are willing to sacrifice their own lives. But the information comes from Israel and they are lying as usual. 30 Jews killed is probably more correct.
Glorious Ramadan to you too, cousin.
It was 3 Palestinian freedom fighters who were killed, not 3 gunmen.
Hamas needs to do ambushes like Hezbollah. Draw them into areas with mines and anti tank rockets. A fierce push of Palestinian resistance fighters will have them running back to Tel aviv. The only way to confront IDF effectively is using Hezbollah 2006 ambushes. For every time IDF brings in a unit, Hamas should answer with 100 rockets towards Tel Aviv. Iron dome failed to intercept Hamas long range rockets last May, maybe a few of those would do the trick
“The world doesn’t care when the victims are Palestinians, they will keep selling weapons to Israel”. 11 Satanic worshipers died, who cares – they all should be removed as they are the cancer of the world? Leech of EU and The US. “How Zionist Israel is Robbing America Blind!” https://odysee.com/@archive:2/How-Zionist-Israel-is-Robbing-America-Blind!:1
The Satanic worshipers killed thousands of Palestinian for years. They stole their land and killed them for years. You Zion cry all you want but we’ve all known your ugly faces for a long time. You Zion the children of Satan killed thousands for no reason.
ISIS is Mossad.
Perhaps Russia could learn a lesson or two from the dirty kikefaces- they learned their Nazi lessons and they try to protect their own. In an open society yet.
The Plan is on…time to bring on the hurt to all those rotten festering NWO regimes wherever they are!!! They shall know no peace!
Palestinians are officially the red Indians of the east .
It looks like ISIS is now training the Palestinians with new tactics. It’s been a tough week for Israel and they have been seriously taken off guard. I have inside information from my years as an intelligence operative and Israel’s casualties are much higher than they are reporting.
Always been like this. Most of hamas training comes from Hezbollah, Hamas knows the axis of resistance is a much better ally than anyone, so if it is true that isis is training, must be a small amount. Some Palestinians are stupid, they join isis and isis Israeli created. ISIS was literally created so all of Israel enemies focus on Israel, and Palestinians joining isis help Israeli interests
