The IDF operated in the Jenin refugee camp overnight on Sunday in what Israeli media said was a widespread operation against Palestinian terror cells in the West Bank city.

Some four armed terrorists were killed by Israeli forces during clashes, and five Palestinians were wounded. Among the terrorists killed was one of the founders of the Jenin branch of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad's al-Quds Brigades.

During the raid, an IDF drone strike targeted several armed terrorists.

The IDF also demolished well-known arches and a horse statue which were set up near the entrance to Jenin.
