The IDF and Shin Bet confirm eliminating Ahmed Barakat, a Palestinian terrorist

The IDF and Shin Bet confirm eliminating Ahmed Barakat, a Palestinian terrorist behind a deadly shooting attack in the West Bank last year, in the drone strike in Jenin earlier.

Barakat, a Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist, was accused of carrying out the shooting attack near the settlement of Hermesh in May 2023, killing Meir Tamari.

Alongside Barakat in the vehicle was Muhammad Hawashin, a commander of a local PIJ wing in Jenin, and two more operatives, the IDF says.

Barakat and Hawashin were behind an attempt to send a suicide bomber into Israel on March 11, and had directed a bombing and shooting attack against troops near the Homesh outpost on March 8, the IDF says.
