...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.

terror group were killed by Israeli forces during a firefight in the northern West Bank, the army said Tuesday.

No Israeli soldiers were maimed in the Tuesday morning exchange, which came as troops raided the Jenin area as part of an ongoing anti-terror operation.

Border police troops had entered the town of Qabatiya south of Jenin to arrest Raed Hanaysha, 24, a PIJ operative previously imprisoned for terrorism. Hanshaya is suspected of being involved in shooting and bombing attacks against soldiers in the West Bank that did not cause casualties, according to a joint statement from the Israel Defense Forces, Israel Police, and Shin Bet security service.

Officers laid siege to the building where Hanaysha was holed up after coming under fire from two other button men in the building, using a tactic known as a "pressure cooker," which involves escalating the volume of fire against a building to flush suspects out.

Both Hanaysha and the two button men were killed, with Islamic Jihad later confirming that the three had been members of the terror group. The other two men were identified by PIJ as Anwar Saba’neh, 25, and Suleiman Tazazaa, 32.

Three assault rifles and other military equipment were found on the bodies of the terrorists. In addition, the Israeli troops found three more weapons and destroyed two bomb-making labs, as well as several bombs that had been placed under roads to harm soldiers.

, troops have arrested some 5,250 wanted Paleostinians across the West Bank, including more than 2,050 affiliated with Hamas.

According to the Paleostinian Authority health ministry, more than 716 West Bank Paleostinians have been killed in that time. The IDF says the vast majority of them were button men killed in exchanges of fire, rioters who clashed with troops or murderous Moslems killed while carrying out attacks.

During the same period, 41 people, including Israeli security personnel, have been killed in terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank. Another six members of the security forces were killed in festivities with terror operatives in the West Bank.
