(IDF Spokesperson/IMRA) Tanzim operatives Ahmed Sabar Mahmud Abhara and Mahmud Jamal Mujamed Zaid were killed Thursday in an arrest attempt near Jenin in the northern West Bank. A roadblock was set up to arrest two armed wanted Palestinians who were traveling in a private vehicle. The soldiers at the roadblock signaled for the vehicle to stop but it accelerated. As it was passing the roadblock, one of the wanted men pulled out a handgun and aimed it at the force. The force opened fire in response, killing the two men. Abhara collaborated with Islamic Jihad terrorists in the region and had been a member of a Jenin-based cell that manufactured rockets.
