Summary
Sunday night, Israeli troops shot dead two attackers and wounded a third after spotting suspects burning tires and hurling Molotov cocktails toward Karmei Tzur in the West Bank.
The military said the gunfire came during a targeted counterterrorism operation, after soldiers identified the immediate threat near the community.
Firefighters moved in to extinguish blazes caused by the Molotovs and burning tires, while the IDF scanned the area for additional threats; no Israeli soldiers were reported hurt.
The incident came as the IDF and Shin Bet said they had also uncovered five Hamas operatives in Turkey accused of directing attacks, recruiting assailants and smuggling weapons and funds into Israel and the West Bank.
