Israeli security forces exchanged fire with Palestinian gunmen in the West Bank city of Jenin Wednesday night, fatally shooting one of the terrorists involved in the murder of Rabbi Raziel Shevach and capturing other member of the terrorist cell.
At least one Palestinian was reportedly killed in the gunfight. An Israeli was hurt as well and required evacuation.
The Israeli force was searching for the murderers of Rabbi Raziel Shevach, who was killed in a drive-by terrorist attack on January 9. On Wednesday afternoon, the investigation gained critical new information which led the security forces to block routes and enter Jenin with dozens of vehicles.
A Border Police spokesperson stated that several people had been wounded during the operation, as hundreds of Palestinians began to throw stones at the troops and border policemen who restored order.
The Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, terror group responded Thursday to the IDF’s killing in Jenin overnight Wednesday of a terrorist involved in last week’s fatal drive-by shooting of Rabbi Raziel Shevah.
"The Jenin cell is not the first and will not be the last. The criminal security cooperation will not prevent the resistance from standing up to Trump’s decision and from protecting Jerusalem," a Hamas statement read.

Interesting, looking at a map it seems that the SAA are trying to broaden the corridor to Aleppo and uncover a second highway with a more direct run... It also starts removing Turkish proxies..
[ALMASDARNEWS] The predominately Kurdish "People’s Protection Units" (YPG) reinforced the Afrin Canton this week after the Ottoman Turkish Army repeatedly attacked their forces in this region located in Aleppo’s northwestern countryside.
According to a Syrian military source, the YPG was able to reinforce the Afrin Canton through the government territories; specifically, the city of Aleppo.
Since the opposition groups in northern Syria are loyal to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund.... , the Kurdish-led forces rely on the Syrian government to give them access to the Afrin Canton from their territories.
Despite disagreements over the U.S.’ presence in the country, the YPG and Syrian Arab Army (SAA) do share a highway that stretches from the lovely provincial capital of al-Hasakah to Aleppo.
YPG forces were able to access this highway to reinforce the Afrin Canton this week

Jaish al-Islam forces have meanwhile succeeded in retaking the town, driving the Syrian troops back to the Marj Sultan area.
The Syrian Arab Army has launched two counterattacks against Tall Firzat in order to liberate it once more, but so far these attacks have been unsuccessful.

[IsraelTimes] The reported attack follows an alleged Israeli Arclight airstrike on a Syrian military base last week
Israel carried out airstrikes at a military airport near Damascus Tuesday night, possibly hitting a weapons depot belonging to the Lebanese terror group Hezbollah, according to unconfirmed Syrian opposition reports.
There was no immediate reaction from official Syrian or Israeli sources.
According to the reports, the airstrikes targeted the Mezzeh Military Airport southwest of Damascus.
Last week the Syrian military said that Israel had conducted airstrikes on a military base in the city of al-Qutayfah, outside Damascus, reportedly on a weapons depot containing long-range missiles.
