During a joint operation between the IDF and Shin Bet on Thursday, an Israel Air Force (IAF) aircraft struck and eliminated Muhammad Abdullah, head of the PIJ's terror network in Nur Shams.

In recent months, Abdullah was responsible for organizing terrorist activities in the area and was involved in numerous terror attacks, the IDF stated. He was also active in deploying explosives against IDF soldiers operating in the area of Tulkarm.
The terrorists were found with M-16 rifles, vests, and vehicles, all of which were confiscated by the IDF soldiers operating in the area.
