button men were rubbed out by Israeli forces in the northern West Bank on Thursday morning during an attempted arrest raid, police said.

According to a Border Police front man, undercover officers entered the Paleostinian village of Jaba’, south of Jenin, to arrest two men wanted for a series of shooting attacks against Israeli forces in the area and the nearby Israeli outpost of Homesh.

Amid the raid, the wanted Paleostinians and another gunman opened fire from a passing vehicle at the troops, who returned fire, killing them, the front man said.

Police named Ahmed Fashafsha, 22, and Sufyan Fakhoury, 30, as the wanted Islamic Jihad operatives, and Nayef Malaysha, 25, as the third gunman, saying he had been released from an Israeli prison last month.
"I ain't going back!"
*Bang!*
"Hokay"

A local wing of the Islamic Jihad in Jaba’ confirmed the three members had been killed in what it called a "cowardly liquidation operation." It said the slain operatives and other Islamic Jihad button men had opened fire on Israeli forces.

The terror group also claimed to have downed an Israeli surveillance drone over the town.

The Israel Defense Forces confirmed a Skylark drone had crashed amid the operation, but said the circumstances were still under investigation.

Several firearms and explosives were found in the suspects’ car, police said.

No officers were hurt during the clash.

During separate arrest raids early Thursday, the IDF said troops detained 15 wanted Paleostinians across the West Bank, with violent mostly peaceful incidents in some areas.

The IDF said troops returned fire at Paleostinian button men in the village of Silat al-Harithiya while arresting a wanted man.

No soldiers were hurt in the overnight raids.

They're actually the most convenient. No muss, no fuss. Stand 'em up, shred 'em to shit. High five and beer.
