Israeli troops arrested two members of al-Jama’a al-Islamiyya overnight in the southern Syrian village of Beit Jinn.

Axar.az informs, citing Times of Israel, according to the military, the detainees had previously carried out rocket attacks on Israel.

The IDF said it had collected intelligence in recent weeks indicating that the operatives were planning additional attacks against Israel.

The pair are brothers, with one considered by the IDF to be the “main” suspect. Israeli troops arrested them in their beds at home.

As the troops began to leave the home with the two suspects, they came under fire, according to the IDF. The troops returned fire, and the Israeli Air Force also provided support with strikes from helicopters and drones. Fighter jets also conducted several strikes on predetermined targets, the military said.

The military said that several gunmen were killed in the fighting.

The gunfire mostly targeted an army Humvee, which, as a result, got stuck. The troops inside were forced to abandon the vehicle inside Beit Jinn. Later, the IDF bombed the Humvee from the air.

Six soldiers were wounded by the gunfire, including three seriously. IAF helicopters airlifted the wounded troops to hospitals in Israel.
