The raid took place as Israel’s military said it had expanded its operation to crack down on militants in the city of Jenin.

The head of a Hamas terror network in the West Bank city of Jenin was killed by undercover Border Police officers this morning, authorities say. The incident comes as the IDF says it has expanded its ongoing counterterrorism raid in the northern West Bank to additional neighborhoods of Jenin.

Dubbed “Iron Wall” by the Israeli military, the operation in the northern West Bank began days after a ceasefire took effect in Gaza, a separate Palestinian territory. Israel has occupied the West Bank since 1967 and its troops carry out regular raids there.

The Israeli occupation army continued its offensive on cities and refugee camps in northern occupied West Bank.

The Israeli military announced Tuesday it had expanded its weeks-long offensive in the occupied West Bank to more areas of Jenin city, saying troops killed three militants although Palestinian officials reported two dead.
