Palestinian jihadist killed in army operation
Earlier, a member of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad was killed during an Israeli military operation in the West Bank city of Jenin. The IDF and the Border Police said in a joint statement that the jihadist Farooq Salameh, who was killed in the operation, was involved in the killing of a veteran police commando earlier this year and was planning further attacks.
The military statement came after Netanyahu and his allies formed the government in Israel. Earlier on Tuesday, Netanyahu told his supporters during a rally in Jerusalem: “I believe we will win. We are about to achieve a huge victory.”
On the other hand, Israel’s caretaker Prime Minister Yair Lapid also congratulated former PM Netanyahu. Lapid told Netanyahu, he has instructed all departments in the prime minister’s office to prepare for an orderly transfer of power. According to the Times of Israel, Yair Lapid said, “Israel is above any political consideration. I wish Netanyahu all the best for Israel and the nation.”
Israel has led an unprecedented fifth election since 2019. According to the data released by the Central Election Committee, over 6.7 million eligible voters cast their votes using 12,495 ballots. Israel’s longest-serving leader Netanyahu has once again returned to power in the country. Netanyahu served as prime minister for 12 consecutive years before being ousted by the cross-partisan coalition led by current PM Yair Lapid in June 2021.
