The killing of the terrorist who carried out the attack in Hawara, Aa Fatah Harusha, and the arrest of his two sons during the day (Tuesday) were made possible thanks to a combined operation of the security forces in Jenin and Nablus.
The challenge for the security forces was to schedule the two operations at the same time, in the shadow of the fear that one mistake would lead to the escape of the terrorists.
Finally the double operation was crowned with success.
The incident began when the Shin Bet managed to locate Harusha's hiding place in Jenin. The terrorist was secured by a number of armed men from the camp, and in the first stage, the Israeli Defense Forces and the Shin Bet worked to completely surround the structure. To surround a building in Nablus, where the terrorist's two sons were hiding, who allegedly took part in the attack and assisted him in planning and escaping, and also prepared to carry out another shooting attack.

The gunmen opened fire and tried to escape.
A heavy exchange of fire developed on the spot, from which IDF soldiers were wounded. During the exchange of fire, several terrorists tried to escape and were injured. Finally, it was decided to launch missiles into the building, which caused the building to collapse.
