Jenin is a major Palestinian city in northern West Bank, with population of at least 49,000. Located in Area A of the West Bank, it is under the jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority.
It contains the Jenin refugee camp, a densely-populated Palestinian refugee camp with a population of around 11,000-22,000 people, according to differing sources and estimates.
Last week, the IDF eliminated the Hamas branch head Jenin.
IDF operations in Tubas and Far'a resulted in the elimination of Muhammad Zakaria Zubeidi and several other terrorists and the discovery of explosives under roads.
“The current operation in the West Bank is made in the provision of a possible scenario of bigger terrorist attacks in the future, Dr. Colonel (res.) Moshe Elad said.
The IDF’s extensive West Bank operation since August 28, targeting Jenin and Tulkarem, has led to 14 terrorist deaths and ongoing evacuations.
He was killed while battling terrorists, and two of his fellow soldiers were also injured in the fighting and were evacuated to the Emek Hospital in Afula.
Hamas later reported the death of one of its operatives in the al-Damj neighborhood.
Hazem was killed in his vehicle. His role in the terror group involved carrying out and directing shooting and bombing attacks, along with advancing terrorist activities.
One such lesson is that it is imperative to deal with security challenges and problems early instead of waiting until they metastasize into something much larger and more dangerous.
The IDF, in coordination with the IAF and Shin Bet, conducted the largest operation in the West Bank in several months against terror activity.
Police stated that "The screening is against the court's decision and that "There is a suspicion of disorderly conduct."
