IDF forces surrounded a house in the Jenin region today where two armed men had barricaded themselves in a very difficult operation.
The military struck the structure from a helicopter and then used a D9 armored bulldozer to break through the entrance. Exchanges of fire took place between the gunmen and the IDF throughout the standoff as troops tightened the siege on the building.
Video from Egypt’s Al-Ghad TV shows the two wanted men emerging from the house with their hands raised toward the surrounding Israeli forces. They were then seen returning—apparently with IDF permission—to the doorway of the structure. Moments later, for reasons not yet clear and reportedly triggered by the action of one of the gunmen, IDF troops opened fire, killing both men on the spot.
