IDF Eliminates Hamas Leader in Jenin in Counterterror Operation

Israeli forces eliminated Isser Saadi, the head of Hamas’s terror network in Jenin, during an overnight operation on Monday. The counterterror mission, carried out by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Israel Police, and the Shin Bet, also resulted in the killing of another terrorist and the capture of three wanted operatives.

Troops raided the terrorists’ hideout, where they uncovered weapons, including an M-16 rifle, a handgun, and other military equipment. In a separate encounter, another armed terrorist who posed an immediate threat was neutralized.

The detained suspects were transferred to security forces for further investigation. Remarkably, no Israeli soldiers were injured during the operation.

In a broader effort to dismantle terror networks, Israeli security forces arrested 19 additional terror suspects overnight, with several linked to incitement campaigns on social media.

“Security forces will continue to act to thwart terror throughout Judea and Samaria in order to maintain the security of the citizens of the State of Israel,” the IDF stated.

Israel remains committed to protecting its people and ensuring that terrorist threats are met with decisive action.
