"IDF forces apprehended Husam Badran, one of the leading members of Hamas' Nablus military wing - Iz a Din al-Kassam - Thursday, in an operation in the West Bank village of Harvat Beit Hasan, northeast of Nablus.
IDF helicopters fired two missiles at a house with Badran and others inside, killing three Palestinians. An IDF elite unit descended from a helicopter and arrested Badran, who emerged uninjured from the missile attack.
The identity of the three dead was not released, but security sources said that they are most probably Hamas activists.
Badran was involved in all of the terror attacks that were initiated by Nablus terrorists. Among them were the suicide attacks at the Dolphinarium in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem's Sbarro restaurant and the Pesach attack at Netanya's Park Hotel.
