Israeli raid in West Bank kills three four — two Hamas & Islamic Jihad Big Turbans
2023-03-17
[An Nahar] Israeli forces killed three Paleostinians in a raid in Jenin in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, the Paleostinian health ministry said.

There were "three deaders from occupation (Israeli) bullets in Jenin," a ministry statement said, while the Israeli army said that "security forces are currently operating in the Jenin refugee camp".

That was the perspective from Agence France Presse. Here’s what the Israelis reported:
4 Palestinians, including terror group members, killed by Israeli troops in Jenin

[IsraelTimes] Police say Yamam officers ’neutralize’ two desperados in West Bank city, identified as senior members of Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, and 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...
Four Paleostinians, at least two of whom were members of terror groups, were rubbed out Thursday by undercover Israeli forces during a daytime raid in the West Bank city of Jenin, the military and Paleostinian media reports said.


In a joint statement with the Israel Defense Forces and Shin Bet security agency, police said members of the elite Yamam counterterrorism unit entered Jenin and "neutralized" two wanted Paleostinian button men, after receiving intelligence about their whereabouts.

The Paleostinian Authority health ministry said four people were killed and at least 23 others were hurt in the raid, five of them seriously.

Paleostinian media outlets identified the slain men as Yusuf Shreim, 29, a member of the military wing of the Hamas terror group, and Nidal Khazem, 28, a member of Paleostinian Islamic Jihad.

They were both later claimed as senior members by their respective terror groups.

According to the Shin Bet, Khazem was involved in advancing "significant terrorist activity," and Shreim was involved in the production of bombs and shooting at IDF forces in the West Bank.

The other two Paleostinians were named by the PA health ministry as 16-year-old Omar Awadin and 37-year-old Luay al-Zughair.

The extent of their involvement in the festivities was not immediately clear.

Police said the Yamam officers opened fire and killed a third suspect who attempted to attack forces with a crowbar, and shot at several other button men in the area.

Graphic footage taken from a building above the scene showed the undercover forces shooting one of the maimed button men who was lying on the ground in the head from a close range.

Another clip appeared to show undercover forces retreating to a vehicle.

At one point, dozens of Paleostinians were seen surrounding the car apparently used by the undercover forces, before gunshots ring out and the crowd disperses.

A local wing of Paleostinian Islamic Jihad said its members had clashed with the undercover forces who "carried out a cowardly liquidation of resistance fighters."

No Israeli officers or soldiers were hurt amid the raid, officials said.

Tensions between Israel and the Paleostinians have been high for the past year, with the IDF conducting near-nightly raids in the West Bank amid a series of deadly Paleostinian terror attacks. Those tensions have ramped up even further in recent weeks, featuring a cycle of deadly Israeli raids and Paleostinian Dire Revenge attacks, as well as an uptick in settler violence.

On Sunday, Israeli troops killed three members of the Nablus-based Lion’s Den terror group.

Paleostinian terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank in recent months have left 14 Israelis dead and several more seriously hurt.

At least 84 Paleostinians have been killed since the beginning of the year, most of them while carrying out attacks or during festivities with security forces, but some were uninvolved civilians and others were killed under circumstances that are being investigated.

...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
