operative killed in overnight raid

Paleostinian button men set off an improvised bomb near Israel Defense Forces troops in the West Bank town of Silat ad-Dhahr on Friday afternoon, wounding seven soldiers, the military and medics said.

The IDF said soldiers were carrying out "proactive activity" in the town when they came under attack.

The soldiers were searching for button men who had shot up an army post near the adjacent Israeli settlement outpost of Homesh a short while earlier, according to Hebrew-language media reports.

The IDF said three soldiers were listed in moderate condition, and four others were lightly hurt. They were all taken to the hospital for treatment and their families were notified.

Troops launched a manhunt for the Paleostinian suspects behind the attack, the IDF said.

Earlier Friday, the IDF said troops killed a Paleostinian Islamic Jihad operative allegedly involved in planning major attacks, in the northern West Bank village of Silat al-Harithiya overnight.

Troops of the Duvdevan commando unit and Border Police officers raided Silat al-Harithiya following intelligence provided by the Shin Bet on the suspect’s whereabouts.

According to defense authorities, Muhammad Shalabi, 39, was involved in advancing "significant terror activity" on behalf of Islamic Jihad, including shooting attacks, preparing bombs, and delivering funds for terrorism.

The IDF said an assault rifle and other military equipment was captured at Shalabi’s home.

Troops also detained nine more wanted Paleostinians during overnight raids across the West Bank, the IDF said. Since October 7, the IDF has said troops have arrested some 3,500 wanted Paleostinians across the West Bank, including more than 1,500 affiliated with Hamas
