An Arab terrorist was killed Sunday night during a clash with Israeli forces who were conducting a counterterrorism operation in the city of Shechem (Nablus), under the control of the Palestinian Authority.
The Border Police stated that during an operation to arrest a terror suspect, terrorists threw dozens of explosives charges at the force. The troops, members of an elite undercover unit, responded by firing and eliminating one of the terrorists.
A terror suspect was arrested during the operation, and a Carlo submachine gun was confiscated from his home.
There were no Israeli casualties.
PA sources identified the dead terrorist as Jameel al-Kayyal, 31. He was rushed to a nearby hospital by a Red Crescent ambulance and later died of his wounds.
Three other terrorists were injured during the exchange of fire, according to some reports.
A defense establishment official is quoted as saying al-Kayyal had previously participated in a shooting attack against IDF forces.
The operation in Shechem was part of a general sweep Israeli forces conducted against terror suspects throughout Judea and Samaria on Sunday night.
Some 26 suspects were arrested during the night.
