Undercover Border Police and IDF soldiers from the Ephraim Brigade killed four terrorists in the West Bank village Na'ama in the Ephraim area on Monday night.
With precise intelligence guidance from the Shin Bet, the Israeli forces operated in the Ephraim area and located the hiding suspect at a compound in the region. Upon discovery, the suspect of Sunday night’s attempted terror attack, along with three others, tried to flee by car.
During their escape attempt, the driver tried to run over the undercover operatives. In response, the Border Police undercover operatives opened fire at the vehicle and killed the terrorist and the three additional terrorists.
Combat gear found
During the search of the vehicle, a Carlo-type weapon, a vest, and explosive devices were found.
According to reports, one of the terrorists was from a terror cell that had intended to attack Jewish Israelis and had set fire to a caravan at Sde Ephraim Farm on Monday.
During the operation, an undercover operative was lightly injured in his foot and was evacuated for medical treatment.
The official Palestinian news agency WAFA said Israeli forces opened fire at a vehicle near a village outside the city of Ramallah. It reported that Israeli forces later entered the village and eight people were injured during clashes.
However, according to a later report by Kan News on X, formerly Twitter, the four terrorists were killed.
