Israel military says it killed a top militant in West Bank strike | DW News

The Israeli military said its forces had destroyed a “terrorist cell” in a “precision air strike” in the city of Nablus in the occupied West Bank. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said it killed Abdullah Abu-Shalal, who planned to carry out an imminent, large-scale terrorist attack with his cell members. He was the “head of terrorist infrastructure” at the Balata camp in the city, responsible for a “number of terrorist attacks” over the past year, the army added. An unidentified, charred body arrived at Rafidia governmental hospital in Nablus after Israeli forces bombed a vehicle near Balata camp, the Palestinian Health Ministry in Ramallah said. The security situation in the West Bank has deteriorated ever since Hamas, listed as a terror organization by the US, Germany and others, triggered a war with Israel by launching a surprise attack on October 7, killing over 1,100 people and abducting hundreds.
