Paleostinian Authority security forces carried out a raid against Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. 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...
on Sunday night in the town of Jaba, some 25 kilometers (16 miles) south of Jenin, according to reports from the terror group.
Five members were reportedly detained, including a commander and a former commander of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, an gang linked to the PA’s ruling Fatah party.
The arrests seemed to indicate that the PA was continuing its crackdown on the organization, following arrests it carried out during and immediately after the Israeli operation in Jenin two weeks ago.
In a series of statements, the al-Quds Brigades, the local branch of Islamic Jihad, harshly condemned the PA campaign against its members, calling it a "morally unacceptable crime" and a "real threat to our struggle and the blood of our deaders."
The terror group claimed that the PA was doing the work of Israel and that the two entities were "two faces of the same coin," keeping the Paleostinian people under "two occupations."
In another operation the previous night, the PA reportedly arrested the uncle and cousin of 17-year-old Majdi al-Ararawi, one of the 13 button men killed by the IDF in the Jenin operation.
Islamic Jihad also reported that two of its members detained by the PA have started a hunger strike. They were arrested by the PA on the night of July 3, as they were on their way to fight in Jenin during the IDF operation.
The two men, Murad Walid Malayshe (34) and Muhammad Walid Barahme (37), spent over 10 years in Israeli prisons for terror-related activities and are among "the most wanted by Israel," according to the Paleostinian website Palinfo. They are currently being detained in a PA prison in Jericho.
The Jenin Battalion, another local faction affiliated with Islamic Jihad, called for demonstrations in all major West Bank cities Monday night to protest the "political arrests" by the "treacherous Paleostinian Authority." The PA responded by deploying security forces, armored vehicles and snipers, according to videos circulating on Paleostinian social media.
Based on reports in Paleostinian news outlets and on Islamic Jihad’s Telegram channel, it appeared that only in Jenin did people actually take to the streets in large crowds.
Israel carried out the major Jenin operation on July 3-4 to crack down on what it said was a hotbed of terror in the city. Multiple attacks on Israelis in recent years have been carried out by Paleostinians from the area, and observers say the Paleostinian Authority has little control on the ground.
Paleostinian health officials said 13 people were killed, and at least 100 others were maimed. All of the slain Paleostinians were involved in the fighting, but there were some noncombatants among the maimed, according to the IDF.
