Israeli Forces Kill Two Islamic Jihad Operatives in Tamun Raid

Officials say the men were preparing an imminent attack, prompting a joint team to use escalating tactics to flush them from a building.

Overview

  • IDF, Shin Bet, Israel Police and the Yamam counterterror unit conducted an overnight operation in the Tamun/Tammun area that resulted in two fatalities.
  • Authorities identified the men as Muhammad Qasim Suleiman, 29, and Alaa Jawdat Bani Odeh, 20, and said they were affiliated with Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
  • Security forces encircled a structure and used a “pressure cooker” method, including shoulder‑fired missiles and direct fire, to neutralize the suspects.
  • Israeli officials framed the raid as a preemptive, intelligence-led action within a broader West Bank campaign targeting armed cells.
  • Palestinian reports say Israel is holding the bodies, and coverage varies on whether the site was in the Menashe area or northern Judea and Samaria.
