The Israeli military has reported the killing of five militants in a significant operation in the occupied West Bank. Among those killed was Mohammed Jaber, also known as Abu Shujaa, a prominent local commander associated with the Islamic Jihad militant group in the Nur Shams refugee camp near Tulkarem.
Abu Shujaa had gained recognition among Palestinians earlier this year when he was believed to have been killed in an Israeli operation but later appeared at the funeral of other militants, receiving a hero's welcome from the crowd.
