The Israeli army on Tuesday killed a senior Qassam Brigades commander and another Palestinian during a large-scale military operation in the eastern neighborhood of the northern West Bank city of Jenin.
According to Palestinian security sources and eyewitnesses, the Israeli forces, backed by large reinforcements, surrounded several residential buildings in the eastern neighborhood of Jenin, which led to violent clashes that resulted in the killing of Aysar al-Saadi and another young man.
Hamas mourned the death of Aysar, accusing Israel of resorting to "assassinations after failing to confront the resistance on the ground."
In a statement, the Israeli army confirmed the killing of Aysar, alleging that he was responsible for planning attacks against Israeli targets. The statement also claimed that the second Palestinian killed "posed a threat" to Israeli forces in the area.
The army emphasized that military operations would continue in Jenin to pursue what it described as "terrorist elements."
