Israeli security forces entered Jenin on Thursday morning, according to the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit.
The operation, a joint effort between the Border Police, IDF, and Shin Bet, was organized in order to arrest members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad stationed in Jenin.
Two individuals were arrested, and one was killed in an exchange of fire between Israeli forces and local gunmen.
