IDF kill two Palestinian terrorists in West Bank raid

An army spokesman added: “During the activity, weapons which were used by the terrorists were confiscated.”

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant praised Friday's operation and said Israel would continue to act to root out militants.

He said: "There will be no loop that isn't closed and there won't be a terrorist who doesn't pay the heaviest price.”

The Israeli army reported "no injuries" among its forces. The Palestinian health ministry in a statement identified the two dead as Khairi Shaheen, 34, and Hamza Maqbul, 32.

The Abu Ali Mustapha Brigades, the armed wing of the leftist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), claimed Shaheen and Maqbul as its members.

It comes just days after Israel concluded a major two-day offensive meant to crack down on militants.
