    The following has been cleared for publication:
     
    Following a complex and determined intelligence and operational effort that began immediately after the 9 January 2018 terrorist attack in which Rabbi Raziel Shevach was murdered, Ahmed Nassar Jarrar, a resident of Jenin, was killed this morning (Tuesday, 6 February 2018), in a combined ISA-IDF-Israel Police operation.
     
    Jarrar was the principal operative in the terrorist cell that perpetrated the 9 January shooting near Havat Gilad and personally participated in the attack.
     
    During the attempt to arrest him, Jarrar emerged armed from the structure in Yamoun in which he was hiding and was shot by the security forces. An M-16 and a pack with explosives were discovered on his person. There were no injuries to our forces.
     
    The ISA investigation of detained cell members has revealed that the cell was involved in other attempts to carry out and plan terrorist attacks. The investigation is continuing; a gag order has been placed on further details.
