The two terrorists, Ashraf Saleh and Anis Abu Elenein, were members of a group calling itself “The Al-Aqsa Defenders”, which the IDF said is supported by Hamas.
The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit confirmed the attack in a statement, adding that direct hits were identified.
The IDF said that Anis Abu Elenein had been planning to carry out a terror attack within Israel which was almost completed.
The statement added that Abu Elenein was involved in other terror attack attempts in recent years, including an attempt to smuggle explosives from Gaza through Egypt into Israel. He also directed terrorist activity in Judea and Samaria, said the IDF.
Ashraf Saleh was in the past a member of the Popular Resistance Committees and had been arrested and interrogated.
