The IDF clashed with terrorists in the town of Aqaba in Northern Samaria early Friday morning. The troops surrounded a house where Palestinians suspected of preparing an attack had barricaded themselves in. The IDF was fired upon by terrorists and returned fire using shoulder-mounted missiles and hand grenades, killing one terrorist. After sweeping the building, Israeli troops found military equipment, a handgun, and two improvised explosive devices concealed in a children’s room the army said. Two suspects were arrested in the operation.
