In a tragic and deadly encounter earlier today, a Border Police officer lost his life during a tense confrontation with Palestinian gunmen in the Nur Shams refugee camp, situated near the West Bank city of Tulkarem.

The fallen officer has been identified as Master Sgt. Maxim Razinkov, who bravely served his duty until his untimely demise. The incident unfolded during an arrest operation when Sgt. Razinkov was fatally wounded by an improvised explosive device (IED).

Nine additional members of the Israel Border Police were injured in the operation near the Palestinian city of Tulkarm in the West Bank.

The injured officers were promptly evacuated to Meir Medical Center in Kfar Saba, where they received medical treatment for their wounds. Authorities have reported that the nine wounded officers are now in stable condition and are expected to recover.

This operation was part of an ongoing collaborative effort involving the Israel Border Police, Shin Bet, and the Israeli army. Their mission was twofold: to apprehend individuals wanted for terrorist activities and to dismantle terrorist infrastructure within the Nur Shams area.

During the operation, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) deployed an aircraft to engage a group of armed militants within Nur Shams. The IDF determined that these militants posed a significant threat to the Israeli forces operating in the region. As a result, several of the militants were neutralized in the airstrike.
