3 civilians were killed, on Wednesday evening, as a result of an Israeli air strike that targeted a vehicle in an area near the border, north of Jenin.

According to an Israeli military spokesman, the bombing targeted a vehicle after intelligence information about the involvement of its occupants in a series of shooting operations recently, indicating that its 3 personnel were killed, after they opened fire at the Al-Jalama checkpoint this evening.

This is the first assassination operation carried out in the West Bank using Israeli aircraft, since the end of the second intifada, specifically in 2005.

This is also the first time that drones have been used in attacks in the West Bank, as the Israeli army used to use helicopters or warplanes, but very rarely.
