[IsraelTimes] Military says troops have killed over 60 Palestinian terror operatives, detained over 210, amid ongoing counter-terrorism operation expected to last several more weeks

Israeli troops rubbed out a Paleostinian suspect at the entrance to a military base near Nablus on Thursday, while commando forces destroyed an car bomb in Jenin, amid an ongoing counter-terrorism operation in the West Bank.

The Paleostinian suspect was shot by soldiers at the entrance to the Samaria Regional Brigade’s base near Nablus, the Israel Defense Forces said. He arrived at the entrance to the base in a vehicle and crashed into its gate.

"The suspect was neutralized after moving suspiciously toward the forces," the IDF said.

The Paleostinian Authority health ministry said it had been notified of the man’s death, indicating his body was being held by Israeli authorities. He was named by the PA as 28-year-old Issa Riyad Issa Jabali.

No soldiers were maimed in the incident.

Also Thursday, troops of the Egoz commando unit destroyed an car bomb in the West Bank city of Jenin, the military said. Footage published by the IDF showed a drone dropping a bomb on the parked car.

In addition, the IDF said that on Wednesday, troops of the Maglan commando unit killed three button men during an exchange of fire in the Nur Shams camp near Tulkarem. One soldier was moderately maimed in the incident.

The festivities came amid an offensive, dubbed Operation Iron Wall, that was launched on January 21 and that the military expects to last several more weeks.

Israeli forces have been operating in the Jenin, Tulkarem, and Tubas areas.

Troops have killed more than 60 Paleostinian terror operatives and detained more than 210 amid the major ongoing counter-terrorism operation, the military said on Thursday.

The IDF has acknowledged mistakenly killing several civilians during the operation, including a toddler and a pregnant woman.
