The IDF, Shin Bet, and Border Police eliminated Muhammad Zubeidi, the commander of the Jenin branch of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist group, amid armed clashes in the restive Palestinian West Bank city on Wednesday, according to a joint statement by the security forces.
Zubeidi has carried out several shooting attacks and was involved in extensive terrorist activity, including the attack in which Meir Tamari was murdered near Hermesh in May.
He is related to Zakaria Zubeidi, one of the six Palestinian inmates who escaped from Gilboa Prison in 2021.
Palestinian media reported that an eight-year-old Palestinian boy and a 15-year-old Palestinian were killed in clashes in Jenin on Wednesday.
