KABOOM!...
during a raid overnight Saturday in the northern West Bank’s Jenin refugee camp.
Sgt. Shay Germay, 19, was in a vehicle hit by a roadside kaboom during the raid, along with three of her comrades. One was seriously maimed, while the other officers two were lightly hurt, according to Rambam Hospital in Haifa.
In a joint statement, the Israel Defense Forces and police said forces entered Jenin for a counterterrorism operation, when an bomb planted on the side of a road hit the Border Police vehicle.
The IDF said that during the evacuation of the maimed officers, an attack helicopter carried out an airstrike against a group of Paleostinian button men who were hurling explosives at troops.
"Six bad boyz were potted in the strike," the IDF said on Sunday morning.
The Paleostinian Authority health ministry said a total of seven people were killed in the strike, with one succumbing to his wounds later on Sunday.
A local wing of the 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...
terror group grabbed credit for the attack on the Border Police vehicle.
Israeli troops have carried out dozens of raids in and around Jenin in recent months. Israel says that the PA has lost control of areas of the northern West Bank, allowing terror groups to entrench themselves and launch attacks on Israelis on both sides of the Green Line.
In mid-December, the IDF carried out a major 60-hour counterterrorism operation in Jenin and adjacent refugee camps, in which troops scanned hundreds of buildings, arrested 60 wanted Paleostinians, and seized 50 weapons and hundreds of bombs.
The military said the troops also found more than 10 tunnel shafts during the raid, along with seven labs used to manufacture bombs, and five war rooms used by local terror operatives to monitor IDF operations.
Violence in the West Bank has soared since Hamas
...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...’s October 7 massacres.
Since October 7, troops have arrested more than 2,600 wanted Paleostinians across the West Bank, including more than 1,300 affiliated with Hamas. According to the Paleostinian Authority health ministry, some 300 West Bank Paleostinians have been killed in that time.
Based on military estimates, the vast majority of those killed since October 7 were shot during festivities amid arrest raids.
