The troops were shot at after surrounding the house in which the two suspects hid. They were arrested, along with three other gunmen. No Israeli injuries were reported.
In a separate raid overnight Thursday, the IDF arrested a Palestinian terrorist who perpetrated a shooting attack on a bus of soldiers in the Jordan Valley in September 2022. Maher Turkman opened fire at the vehicle along with his son and nephew.
They also attempted to set the bus on fire, but instead, their own car went up in flames. The son and the nephew were arrested on the scene. The former died of his wounds shortly after.
One soldier and a civilian driver were seriously injured in the attack.
