Israel Defense Forces troops on Sunday morning foiled a Palestinian terror attack near Hebron in Judea.

Troops killed two terrorists near the Beit Einun interchange, after one opened fire on and the other attempted to stab soldiers.

Medics later declared both terrorists dead at the scene.

No Israelis were injured.

Muhammad Jaber, Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s terror chief in Tulkarem, was reportedly among those slain.

During the raid, forces uncovered an explosives lab and confiscated weapons, including M-16 rifles.
