A senior Islamic Jihad member thought to be responsible for Tuesday's foiled suicide attack in central Israel was killed by disguised Border Guard officers and Shin Bet operatives in Jenin.
Mahmoud Abu Abid was shot at close range Wednesday morning after the security establishment received intelligence information on his whereabouts.
Security establishment officials said Abu Abid recruited suicide bombers, manufactured high quality explosive devices, and was involved in dozens of bombing attacks against IDF forces in the Jenin area.
The killing came just hours after the arrest of a Palestinian suspect following intelligence information on a terrorist who had already infiltrated Israel and was planning to carry out a suicide bombing in the Tel Aviv area. Detailed Shin Bet intelligence information led forces to an apartment in the city of Bat Yam, where the bomber and several accomplices were arrested.
