Israeli army says it eliminated ‘terrorist cell’ in occupied West Bank’s Balata camp

The Israeli military has said its forces eliminated a “terrorist cell” during a precise air strike in the Balata camp in the Israeli-occupied city of Nablus, Reuters reports.

The military said in a statement it eliminated Abdullah Abu-Shalal, the “head of terrorist infrastructure” of the camp, who planned to carry out an imminent, large-scale terrorist attack with his cell members.

An unidentified charred body arrived at Rafidia governmental hospital in Nablus after Israeli forces bombed a vehicle near Balata camp, the Palestinian health ministry said.

It remains unconfirmed how many people were killed in the attack, with the Wafa news agency saying a “number” of young men were in the vehicle at the time.
