In parallel to the intensive fighting that has been taking place for more than a month in the Gaza sector and the one that is developing at a slightly different intensity in the north, there is an equally intensive front that the IDF is waging in Judea and Samaria, a front that was fragile and active even before the outbreak of the "Iron Swords" war, and in recent weeks has become much more intense and significant, with many terrorists eliminated, a large number of activities and quite a few terrorist incidents that were prevented, some at the last minute. When the focus is Jenin.
"We are in an offensive effort unprecedented in recent years, only in the past two weeks a double-digit number of operations in the Jenin company from the air and from the ground," a security source said of the operation that took place tonight (between Wednesday and Thursday) in Jenin. "We eliminated dozens of terrorists, evacuated dozens of times from the air, they are beginning to understand that something has changed. We will continue to persecute the terrorist organizations, arrest and eliminate them wherever they may be, we have only just begun.

Tonight's operation in Jenin, the sixth since the beginning of the war, is the largest since Operation Bayit Vagan, in which more than 15 wanted persons were apprehended, including a senior member of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, ten terrorists were killed, and it ended without terrorists for our forces.
In a statement issued by the IDF Spokesperson earlier today, it became known that in an operation to thwart terrorist infrastructure in the Jenin refugee camp in the Menashe Brigade, engineering tools exposed and destroyed dozens of IEDs. In addition, IDF aircraft attacked militants who endangered our forces from the air. As part of the activity, terrorists fired and threw IEDs at the forces, who fired at them in response.
