In a series of unprecedented nighttime airstrikes, the IDF targeted multiple armed groups in the West Bank city of Tubas, killing five terrorists, including the son of a high-profile prisoner who had previously escaped from an Israeli jail.
An IDF spokesperson confirmed late Wednesday night that Israeli aircraft conducted three separate strikes against armed groups that were threatening forces in Tubas. The operation was exceptional in its scope, unprecedented in the ongoing anti-terrorism operation.

According to Palestinian reports, the strikes, which targeted vehicles carrying the terrorists, resulted in the deaths of five, with another wounded.
The terrorists killed in the strikes have been identified as Ahmed Abu Dawas, 24, Qusay Abd al-Razeq, 26, Mohammed Abu Juma, 30, Mohammed Abu Zagha, 23, and Mohammed Zubeidi, 21, the son of Zakaria Zubeidi, who in September 2021 escaped from Gilboa Prison, along with six other high-security prisoners, before being recaptured. Reports suggest that some of the killed were considered senior members of terror organizations in Tubas.
