Surveillance camera footage published by Palestinian media shows the moment a car carrying three gunmen was struck by an Israeli drone near the West Bank city of Jenin last night.

The strike, the first in the West Bank since 2006, killed Suhaib al-Ghoul, 27, Muhammad Awais, 28, and Ashraf a-Saadi, 17, members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades terror groups.

The IDF and Shin Bet said the trio had fired at a nearby checkpoint moments before they were targeted by a Hermes 450 unmanned aerial vehicle, operated by the Artillery Corps.
