In addition, the military attacked the head of PIJ terror infrastructure in Jenin Mohammed Hawashin along with two other terrorists.

The IDF also said that the two terrorists who were targeted tried to carry out significant attacks in recent days, which include the thwarted attempt to enter a terrorist into Israeli territory on March 11. 

In addition, they were responsible for the terror attack on March 8 in which seven soldiers were wounded by an explosive device in the Homesh junction.  

This is a developing story.
