v Elite Israeli commandos dressed as doctors foiled an “imminent” terrorist attack being planned from inside a West Bank hospital, killing three terrorists hiding inside, say Israeli counterterrorism forces.

In CCTV footage circulating online, about a dozen commandos dressed as medical staff armed with assault rifles, and at least three in women’s clothing, are seen conducting an operation inside the Ibn Sina hospital in Jenin last Tuesday.

The IDF, Shin Bet and the police’s Yaman counterterrorism force announced in a statement that Hamas terrorist Mohammad Jalamna was killed during the operation alongside two other terrorists who were hiding with him in the hospital.

The armed Hamas terror cell were said to be planning an “imminent” terror attack, inspired by the October 7 massacre. According to the statement, Jalamna, 27, was a resident of the Jenin refugee camp and had direct communications with Hamas leadership abroad. He was responsible for “promoting significant terrorist activity” as well as transferring weaponry and ammunition to terrorists across the West Bank.
