Israeli forces shot dead three Hamas terrorists who were hiding inside a Jenin hospital and planning major attacks, including one that resembled the October 7 massacre.

The Israeli army said the three gunmen belonged to a Hamas “terrorist cell” and identified one of the men as Mohammed Jalamneh, 27, from Jenin, who had contacts with Hamas headquarters abroad and planned “a raid attack inspired by the October 7th massacre”. 

The military said the two others were terrorists from the area.

“Jalamneh planned to carry out a terror attack in the immediate future and used the hospital as a hiding place and therefore was neutralised,” the military said.
