In the early morning, as part of an activity by the fighters of the undercover unit of Special Forces, the General Security Service, the Jenin Special Forces companies and the IDF forces, the fighters raided a target in the village of Ezbet Shofa near Tolkarm in the sector of the Menasha regional division.
On the basis of "ciritcal information" and intelligence gathered by the General Security Service about the location of the wanted Amir Abu Khadijah who was involved in several shooting attacks against Israeli communities and the security forces operating at the Tanim checkpoint (104), units raided an apartment in the village where the wanted terrorist hid.
During the arrival of the forces at the target and the surrounding of the building, the wanted man drew a weapon at the forces who fired at him and wounded him.
When the fighters forced entry into the apartment, the wanted terrorist tried to open fire at them and was eliminated by the fighters who responded with fire.
A central aide, who was staying with the wanted person in the apartment, turned himself in to the forces and was arrested.
