The Israeli military on Thursday said it had killed Mohammed Jaber and four more Palestinian militants in a major military operation in the occupied West Bank. Jaber, known as Abu Shujaa, was a leader of the Tulkarem Battalion, a local militant group allied to the Islamic Jihad. His death has been confirmed by the Islamic Jihad group.
The Israeli military said it had killed five more militants in a large-scale operation in the flashpoint city of Tulkarm in the occupied West Bank early Thursday, including a well-known local commander.
