Several videos put together by the IDF shows a direct action operation carried out in the town of Abu Dis tonight. The target of the attack was Nabil Halabiya, a former Islamic State operative living in the town that had recruited over a squad-sized element of fighters in the West Bank area, and had supplied them with weapons to carry out a number of shooting attacks against IDF troops.

Three Palestinians, including Nabil Halabiya, were killed in the raid and another 36 were arrested. 18 of the 36 arrested were confirmed as Hamas operatives.
