The Israel Defense Forces said that during the operation in Kafr Dan, north of Jenin, troops came under "massive gunfire" by Paleostinian button men. Others hurled explosives, stones, and Molotov cocktails at the Israeli forces, and set fire to tires, the IDF said. "Troops responded with riot dispersal means and fired at a number of gunnies who fired at them," the IDF said, adding that "suspects were hit." The dear departed were named by the Paleostinian Authority Health Ministry as Muhammad Hushiya, 22, and Fuad Abed, 25. Hushiya was claimed as a member of the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades.
