A major terror attack was thwarted in Israel, leaving 3 terrorists dead, and 4 Israelis hospitalized.

Early Saturday morning, information was received from Shabak regarding a terrorist cell traveling by car from Jenin to Tulkarem, with the intention of committing a large-scale terror attack

At 1:30 am, Israel's Yamam forces located the cell and attempted to carry out arrests.  The terrorists opened fire. Israeli forces returned fire, killing the three terrorists.  Guns and grenades were found in their car.

A will was also found in the car, encouraging the continuation of terror attacks against Israelis.

  The terrorists have since been identified as belonging to Islamic Jihad.
