The IDF is taking off the gloves in Judea and Samaria, as well. In a joint IDF-Shin Bet operation, a terror tunnel was struck at the al-Ansari mosque in the city of Jenin. The mosque housed a Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad team which planned to carry out a terror attack in the immediate future.
As in Gaza, the terror squads exploited the mosque as a safe haven for launching attacks. The Air Force Strike took out a Hamas and PIJ terror squad responsible for a series of attacks in the last few months and which planned another one. These attacks included an attack near the Separation Fence on October 14, with a remote-controlled bomb exploded against a nearby military force. There were no casualties.
