Conflicts: Israel: Al-Aqsa Brigades leaders killed in raid

Israel has killed a senior member of the Al-Aqsa Brigades in a military operation in the West Bank. Ibrahim al-Nablusi was responsible for a series of attacks on Israeli soldiers in the area, the Israeli domestic intelligence service Shin Bet and the military said on Tuesday. Explosives and other weapons were also found during the attempted arrest. Another member was also killed.

According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, a 16-year-old and a 32-year-old were killed in the operation alongside Al-Nablusi. At least 40 people were injured by gunfire. Nablus hospitals reported 69 injured.

threatened with retaliation

The Al-Aqsa Brigades issued a statement threatening retaliation. They are the military wing of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement. However, it is a loose network without a clear hierarchy, local groups often act on their own. According to Palestinian sources, clashes broke out at several Israeli army checkpoints in the West Bank after the incidents in Nablus. According to the Ministry of Health, a 17-year-old was fatally injured in the Hebron area.

Since a wave of terror in Israel in spring, the army in the West Bank has been carrying out more anti-terrorist raids.

ceasefire agreed

After three days of fighting, a ceasefire came into effect on Sunday between Israel and the Palestinian organization Islamic Jihad in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli military launched the "Dawn" military action on Friday with airstrikes against jihad in the Gaza Strip. Two jihadist military chiefs were killed during the operation. Since Friday, militant Palestinians have fired more than 1,000 rockets at Israeli towns, according to the military. 200 of them hit the Gaza Strip.

The anti-jihad operation in Gaza is a continuation of a campaign in the West Bank that has been going on for months. Since a wave of terror in Israel in the spring, the army has been carrying out more anti-terrorist operations there.
