Israeli forces on Tuesday morning captured an alleged Paleostinian terror cell planning an "imminent attack" during a raid in the northern West Bank city of Jenin, the military said.
According to the Israel Defense Forces, troops of the elite Duvdevan unit, the Paratroopers Brigade’s reconnaissance battalion, and the Yamas — the Border Police’s elite undercover counter-terrorism unit — entered Jenin and detained the five suspects.
The troops seized "military equipment" and returned fire at Paleostinian button men who were shooting at them and hurling bombs during the operation, the IDF said.

Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
claimed its members opened fire and activated explosives against the Israeli forces.
Footage published by Paleostinian media outlets showed an improvised bomb being detonated near an IDF vehicle. There were no reports of soldiers hurt.
The IDF said Paleostinian button men were hit by troops’ gunfire. The Paleostinian Authority’s official Wafa news agency said one Paleostinian was maimed by shrapnel.
According to the IDF, the five suspects were part of a "terror cell that planned to carry out an attack in an immediate time frame."
Surveillance camera footage shared online showed one of the suspects being detained.
Two additional suspects were arrested in other areas of the West Bank during overnight raids, the IDF said.
Troops, meanwhile, were still searching for the Paleostinian faceless myrmidons who carried out a deadly shooting attack in the Jordan Valley on Friday, and they were thought to be hiding in the northern West Bank.
The raids on Tuesday came as tensions have soared across the region in recent days, with a rocket attack from Syria on Saturday night; a barrage of rockets from Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...on Thursday; tit-for-tat rocket fire from the Gazoo

It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.
