All of the terrorists involved in the three shooting attacks carried out against Israelis in Huwara this year have now been apprehended.
The terrorists behind the last of three shooting attacks in Huwara in which two IDF soldiers were injured in March were arrested by Israeli forces in Nablus on Sunday morning.
The terrorists were identified as Iyad Takrouri and Musab Mazhar, residents of of Nablus. During the arrests, armed clashes broke out between Palestinians and Israeli forces, with one Palestinian shot and injured during the clashes.
Israeli forces seized an M16 and ammunition during the raid as well. With the arrests, all of the terrorists involved in the three shooting attacks carried out against Israelis in Huwara this year have been apprehended.
In late March, the Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, the military branch of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, claimed responsibility for the shooting attack in Huwara, as well as an additional shooting attack in the town in which Israeli-American David Stern was injured.
“We will carry out more operations. Let the occupation do whatever it wants. We challenge it,” said the Brigades at the time.
“There are many operations carried out by the brigades in the West Bank and Jerusalem, and some of them were announced under other names due to the nature of the security situation, and because we are not looking for ‘media distortion,'” claimed the terrorist group.
