Military brass mulls move after veteran police commando was killed in heavy shootout in Jenin.

The Israeli military is weighing the use of combat helicopters in major operations in Judea and Samaria, after a veteran police commando was fatally shot last week in a raid on the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group.

The military has determined that it needs to increase its levels of firepower accordingly, and is considering other options aside from helicopters, Channel 12 reported, though deploying combat aircraft in urban landscapes like Jenin — where there is expected to be continued counter-terror activity — involves significant complexity.
