The IDF eliminated overnight Monday the terrorist squad that carried out a shooting attack two weeks ago on Mi Casa restaurant in Almog Junction near Jericho. Security forces encountered the squad in the Akkat Jaber refugee camp outside Jericho. Security officials reported at least five dead gunmen, including two terrorists from the attack, and three seriously wounded. The IDF force retrieved the bodies of the dead and Israel is holding them.

Last month, two terrorists opened fire on diners at the restaurant at Almog junction in the northern Dead Sea and escaped. There were no casualties. The terrorists’ weapon was stuck and they only managed to fire one bullet. The two terrorists fled the scene in a car.
