The Israeli army announces the murder of the two perpetrators of the Jordan Valley operation

May 4, 2023

An AFP correspondent reported that a large Israeli army force stormed the Yasmina neighborhood in Nablus and surrounded the house of one of the wanted people.

Following the operation, the Palestinian Ministry of Health confirmed in a statement: “The arrival of three martyrs following the aggression against the Old City of Nablus. Two of the martyrs had completely distorted their features following the intense gunfire on them, making it difficult to identify their identities. »

For its part, the Israeli army announced that it killed the perpetrators of Operation Jordan Valley about a month ago, which killed 3 Israeli women.

The IDF statement said it killed Hassan Qatnani and Moaz al-Masry, who killed the three Israeli women in the Jordan Valley.

He referred to the killing of a third Palestinian, Ibrahim Hawra, who was described by the IDF statement as a key aide to Qatnani and al-Masri.

Two Palestinian gunmen opened fire on a car carrying settlers near the settlement of Al-Hamra in the northern Jordan Valley, west of the Jordan Valley.

The attack resulted in the deaths of two Israeli settlers and the death of the third after serious injury later.

Israeli reactions after the incident

Israel Police Commissioner General Kobi Shabtai called on citizens who have gun licenses to carry them. “This is a deadly attack that reminds us how close the threat of hostile activity (by the Israelis) is,” Shabtai said, according to Israeli media. Immediately, the Israeli army launched a large-scale search operation in the area, sealing off the nearby city of Jericho. Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid vowed that security forces would not rest until they found the perpetrators of the attack. Former Defense Minister Benny Gantz said Israeli army forces are deployed everywhere, trained and ready for any scenario, and he expressed confidence that the perpetrators and those who sent him will be hit.
