The three terrorists were killed by a special Arab-speaking Israel Police elite counterterrorism force that raided the hospital and found the terrorists in their hiding place.
A senior official said: "There are no safe havens in the West Bank and there will not be any– every terrorist should know that. The hands of the IDF and the security forces will reach everyone."

The force raided the hospital area around 5:30 and within a few minutes the terrorists were already eliminated. The most senior of the three terrorists, Muhammad Jalamneh, was also found with a pistol that was confiscated by the force. The terrorists did not have time to respond and were eliminated. By 5:40 the force had already begun its exit.

The operation was made possible thanks to precise intelligence received prior to the activity, culminating in this unprecedented assassination.
The activity was based on the guidance provided by the Shin Bet security agency with the cooperation of other agencies, ranging from the IDF and Border Police. Security officials say many wanted terrorists are hiding throughout hospitals in Judea and Samaria, and under their protection they manage terror networks under the assumption that such locations will not be targeted by the IDF.
Many terrorists in particular use Ibn Sina Hospital as a hiding place. In many operations that the IDF carries out there, they also fire on troops from the hospital area, throw explosives, and hurl stones and Molotov cocktails.
