In a joint operation conducted by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and Israeli security forces, an Islamic Jihad terror squad was apprehended in the Jenin Camp. The squad had been heavily involved in planning and executing multiple major terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians and soldiers.
Israeli Operation in Jenin Camp Thwarts Major Terrorist Attack, Several Suspects Neutralized
The operation began in the early hours of the morning, when the security forces received intelligence indicating the presence of the terror squad in the camp. As they approached the suspects' location, the terrorists opened fire on the security forces, instigating a crossfire. During the exchange of fire, three terrorists were neutralized.
The security forces then moved to surround the building in which the suspects were located. Two armed suspects were identified trying to flee the scene and were neutralized by the security forces. Another suspect in the building surrendered to the security forces. An additional armed suspect was neutralized by the soldiers at the scene, after they had opened fire towards the security forces. Hits were identified.
In the aftermath of the operation, the security forces searched the building and discovered a cache of weapons, including handguns and explosive devices. The suspects were taken into custody for further questioning.
The operation was praised by Israeli officials as a success in the ongoing efforts to protect Israeli citizens and maintain the security of the state against terrorist threats. In a statement, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit said, "The IDF and security forces will continue to act with determination against those who seek to harm the citizens of the State of Israel and threaten its security."
The operation was not without controversy, as there have been reports of additional casualties during the exchange of fire, which are currently being investigated. The Jenin Camp has been a known hotbed of terrorist activity, and this operation is seen as a significant step in disrupting the terrorist network operating there.
