IDF: Israeli security forces continue counterterrorism operations in Judea and Samaria and the Jordan Valley: 10 armed terrorists were eliminated during ground and aerial operations; a vehicle rigged with explosives, explosives laboratories, operational communications rooms, and weapons were located and dismantled

During ongoing joint IDF, ISA, and Israel Border Police counterterrorism activity in the areas of Tulkarm and Nur Shams, four terrorists were eliminated. Three of the terrorists were eliminated in an aerial strike on Wednesday, and the fourth terrorist was eliminated during close-quarters combat with the security forces. Muhammad Abu Ataya, one of the terrorists killed in the aerial strike, was suspected of killing Master Sergeant Maksim Rizhkov of the Israel Border Police ‘Yamas’ forces on October 19th, 2023. Approximately 15 additional terrorists were hit during the counterterrorism operation.

In the areas of Tubas, Tamun and Far'a, IDF, ISA, Israel Border Police, and Israel Prison Service forces conducted a 48-hour counterterrorism operation. During exchanges of fire, the forces eliminated a terrorist that hurled explosive devices. The forces located a vehicle rigged with explosives, inside of which they found explosive devices and a long-range detonation system that security forces subsequently dismantled.

In all areas of activity, the forces confiscated large quantities of weapons, including sniper rifles, two M-16s, handguns, and additional weaponry. In Tulkarm, the forces located and dismantled four explosive manufacturing laboratories and four operational communications centers equipped with cameras. Additionally, a machine used to manufacture weapons, within which weapon parts were found, and numerous IEDs in the area were dismantled.

Furthermore, five armed terrorists were struck and eliminated by an aircraft in Tubas.

During the counterterrorism operation in northern Samaria, an underground complex was located adjacent to a hospital in the Tulkarm camp. The complex has an entrance and no exit. The forces are continuing to investigate the complex and will dismantle it.

IDF soldiers will continue to operate to thwart terrorist activities and attacks in northern Samaria and the Jordan Valley.
