    IDF Major Bar Pelah, the deputy commander of the elite 

Nahal reconnaissance unit, was killed in a shootout with 

Palestinian terrorists near the security fence north of 

Jenin l last night.                            

The two terrorists were spotted near the 

barrier and confronted by the IDF unit. The terrorists opened 

fire at the soldiers, who then returned fire. Pelah, 30, was 

killed in the firefight.

 Prime Minister Yair Lapid said, "Major 

Bar Pelah, a warrior and a commander, the deputy 

commander of Nahal, was killed tonight in operational activity 

and there are no words to console the family, his partner and 

friends for the loss of their dearest. Bar fought terrorism with 

every fiber of his being and led his soldiers in his last hour. 

The operational activity in which he was killed thwarted a 

major attack and saved human lives. We are all hurting his 

demise with you."

The 933rd "Nahal" Brigade is one of the Israel Defense 

Forces main infantry brigades.

The al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, affiliated with Fatah of the PA, 

claimed responsibility for the overnight attack and released a 

video of gunmen opening fire at the Jewish settlement of Har 

Brakha near Nablus. The gunmen were identified by the 

Palestinians as Ahmed Abed and Abdul Rahman Abed from 

the village of Kafr Dan near Jenin. The former was also 

reportedly a member of the PA's security apparatus.

The al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades (Arabic: كتائب شهداء 

الأقصى, is a coalition of Palestinian armed groups in the West 

Bank (Samaria). The organization has been designated as 

a terrorist organization by Israel, the European Union, Canada

, Japan, New Zealand, and the United States.

Shots were fired at a Defense Ministry tractor working 

along the West Bank partition fence in the Jenin area on 

Tuesday, in the same area as the shootout in which Major 

Pelah was killed.               

Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad have reportedly 

offered $200 for each new shooting attack against Israelis, as 

long as a video of the attack is posted on TikTok.
