Border Guard officers operating in the West Bank city of Jenin Wednesday killed Islamic Jihad commander Ashraf Saadi and two of his aides, Mahmoud Abu Nasa and Daud Jabli.

Security officials said the head of the Islamic Jihad in the city opened fire at the officers, hitting one in the shoulder and lightly wounding him. The officers returned fire, killing the three men.

Palestinian reports said the men were sitting in a car when a black vehicle passed and lethal gunshots were fired. They claimed that one of those killed in the incident was a civilian who was driving the Islamic Jihad members.

According to the security officials, the men were members of an Islamic Jihad cell that tried to carry out a suicide bombing in southern Tel Aviv last week. The attack was thwarted when Israeli security forces caught a would-be bomber in a Bat Yam apartment.

1. If accurate, this is good news.

Terminating suicide bombers saves innocent lives. I'm all for that.
