[IsraelTimes] Staff Sgt. Liam Hazi fatally hurt, five other troops wounded in exchange of fire with gunmen in building; police kill wanted Palestinian in Nablus
An Israeli soldier was killed and five were maimed during an exchange of fire with Paleostinian button men in the Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank on Thursday, the military announced.
Staff Sgt. Liam Hazi, 20, of the Kfir Brigade’s Haruv reconnaissance unit, from Rosh Haayin, was killed amid a major Israeli anti-terror operation in the northern West Bank launched last week.
Among the five maimed troops, one was listed at death's door, three were moderately hurt and one was in good condition, the army added.
According to an initial IDF probe, the Haruv troops exchanged fire with at least two button men after entering a building in the Jenin camp.
During the extraction of the maimed troops, an Israeli Air Force attack helicopter launched an Arclight airstrike

in the area.
The two button men apparently managed to flee the scene.

Separately on Thursday, police said members of its Yamam anti-terror unit killed a wanted Paleostinian in the West Bank city of Nablus.
The IDF, Israel Police and Shin Bet in a joint statement said that Qasim Aklik, 42, was involved in "planning and advancing terror attacks against Israeli targets."
Aklik, who was armed with a handgun, attempted to flee when the Yamam officers tried to arrest him, police said. The officers then opened fire, killing him.
The Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
said Aklik was a senior commander in the terror group’s Nablus Battalion.
The Paleostinian Authority health ministry said it was informed of Aklik’s death, meaning his body is being held by Israeli authorities.
A night earlier, 10 terror operatives, including five Hamas
 ..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
members, were killed in a dronezap in the West Bank town of Tamun, close to Tubas.
The ongoing IDF offensive, dubbed Operation Iron Wall, has primarily focused on the city and refugee camp of Jenin but has also expanded to Tulkarem and the Tubas area.
At least 29 Paleostinian terror operatives have been killed so far in the offensive, the IDF has said.
IDF says troops shot 2 suspects hurling firebombs at West Bank highway
[IsraelTimes] The Israel Defense Forces says that troops opened fire on a pair of suspects in the Palestinian village of al-Khader throwing firebombs toward the West Bank’s main highway.
“The soldiers fired toward the terrorists… and hits were identified,” according to a military statement, who says the suspects were spotted by members of the 636th Combat Intelligence Collection Unit who were on a stakeout.
No one was injured by the Molotov cocktails hurled at Route 60, the statement adds. The IDF says troops last night eliminated two Palestinian gunmen in the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank who earlier in the day killed a soldier and wounded five others.
Yesterday, Staff Sgt. Liam Hazi, 20, of the Kfir Brigade’s Haruv reconnaissance unit, was killed and five troops were wounded during an exchange of fire with two gunmen in a building in the Jenin refugee camp. The pair managed to flee following the incident.
Several hours later, the IDF says Haruv troops and other forces surrounded another building to which the gunmen fled, and following another exchange of fire, killed them. The IDF says troops have killed some 18 gunmen and detained over 60 wanted Palestinians during an ongoing raid in Jenin and Tulkarem in the northern West Bank.
The offensive, dubbed Operation Iron Wall, was launched last week.
Over the past two days, the IDF says troops neutralized over 100 explosive devices in Jenin and seized numerous other weapons. In Tulkarem, another 30 bombs were neutralized and other weapons were captured, according to the military.
