The IDF Spokseperson's Unit announced that earlier today (Monday), during a joint IDF and ISA counterterrorism activity, an IAF aircraft struck and eliminated Ihab Abu Atiwi, a terrorist who served as the head of the Hamas terrorist organization in Tulkarm, and an additional terrorist.
Abu Atiwi was involved in numerous shooting attacks, including an attack on an Israeli vehicle at the Ramin junction on July 16, 2024, in which three Israeli citizens were injured.
His elimination is part of the intensive counterterrorism operations conducted by the ISA and IDF against terrorist networks in northern Samaria.
Additionally, a short while ago, as part of the counterterrorism efforts in Judea and Samaria, IDF, ISA, and Israel Border Police forces initiated a counterterrorism operation in Tulkarm.
