Israel Police shot and killed a terrorist who threw an explosive device at Israeli forces during a raid in Nur Shams near Tulkarm on Friday morning, according to Israel Police.

Israeli forces arrested three terrorists, and clashes erupted between Palestinians and Israeli forces during the raid.

Additionally, on Thursday night, the IDF mapped the Dura home of the terrorist who carried out the stabbing attack in Gan Yavne earlier this week in preparations for its possible demolition.
