Three terrorists were eliminated in an Israeli airstrike in the Jenin area earlier Friday, including Qais Bitawi, a senior Hamas operative in the former Jenin terror network. Bitawi was involved in directing, funding and carrying out terror attacks against Israeli civilians and security forces, and maintained ties with Hamas in Gaza and abroad. He was eliminated alongside two additional terrorists, and weapons were found in their vehicle. Bitawi was a relative of Noor Bitawi, commander of the Jenin terror network, who was eliminated by Israeli security forces in May 2025.
