Israeli army kills two terrorists who shot at outpost near Nablus
Minister Yoav Galant praised the 'successful' operations of the Israeli army, which 'prevented an attack on Israeli civilians'
The Israeli army on Tuesday killed two terrorists who shot at a military outpost near the Jewish settlement of Elon Moreh, near Nablus, in the West Bank.
The fighters of the 636th battalion opened fire on the vehicle and neutralized the armed terrorists. The Israel Defense Forces began searching the area and located three M16 weapons and two pistols used by the terrorists on the spot.
No Israeli army soldiers were wounded. Defense Minister Yoav Galant praised the "successful" operations of the Israeli army, which "prevented an attack on Israeli civilians."
"The Israeli army is the protection tool that gives life to the State of Israel and its citizens," he said.
In addition, several reserve batteries of air defense systems were deployed throughout the country amid high tensions after rocket attacks were carried out last week from Lebanon, the Gaza Strip and Syria.
At the same time, commando fighters have been deployed in the center of the country to strengthen the Israeli police and reinforce security in city centers, following the instructions given by Galant.
The fighters of the Duvdevan unit, in cooperation with other units, meanwhile arrested a terrorist cell in Jenin that was preparing an imminent attack on Israeli territory, following an exchange of fire between them.
