On Friday morning, Israel Border Police forces, following precise ISA intelligence, encountered and eliminated Hamas terrorist Wassem Hazem in Zababdeh, south of Jenin.
Hazem was involved in carrying out and directing shooting and bombing attacks, and advanced terror activities in the area.
The strike was carried out following intelligence that directed an IDF aircraft to eliminate Hazem and two additional terrorists as they attempted to flee from the vehicle that they were in.
Maysara Masharqa and Arafat Amer, two terrorist operatives in the Hamas terrorist organization in Jenin, operated under Hazem's command and took part in shooting attacks against Israeli communities.
Border Police commander Yitzchak Berik commented, "Let all of our enemies know that the long arm of the State of Israel's defense echelon will reach them, in any place and at any time needed. No terrorist is immune to the power of the State of Israel."
