JERUSALEM (Reuters) – The Israeli military said it used a drone to strike a militant squad driving in a vehicle on Wednesday, thwarting an attack.
The drone strike in the occupied West Bank was a day after four Israelis were killed in a deadly shooting in what was apparent retaliation for a military raid on Monday when Israeli security forces killed seven Palestinians.
“IDF soldiers identified a terrorist cell inside a suspicious vehicle, after the cell carried out a shooting adjacent to the town of Jalamah,” a statement from the Israeli military said. “Following the identification of the terrorist cell, an IDF UAV fired toward the cell and thwarted them.”
