Jerusalem, 23 July, 2024 (TPS-IL) -- The Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) confirmed on Tuesday that it killed Tulkarem refugee camp’s heads of Hamas and the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades during an early-morning counterterror raid.
According to the Shin Bet, Ashraf Nafeh was responsible for producing and planting improvised explosive devices used against Israeli security personnel. Nafeh also recruited camp residents into Hamas, was in contact with terror leaders abroad, and had participated in several attacks on Israeli forces.
Muhammad Abu Abdo, who headed the Fatah-aligned al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades in Tulkarem, was responsible for several shooting attacks, and also raised money and bought weapons and equipment for his group’s activities.
During the operation, a manned aircraft struck other terrorists in the camp.
Since October 7, more than 4,100 Palestinian terror suspects have been arrested in counterterror raids throughout Judea and Samaria of whom 40% are associated with Hamas.
