WATCH: Terrorists in Jenin steal pickup trucks, flaunt on social media

Terrorists in Jenin armed with weapons stole two pickup trucks from the Palestinian Authority's security forces and carried out parades with them this morning (Thursday) in the Arab city of northern Samaria, along with terror flags and calls of incitement against the State of Israel.

They took the trouble to distribute the footage on social media without fear that they would suffer any harm as a result. The directive of former Defense Minister Yoav Galant, reinforced by current Minister Israel Katz, not to allow such incidents, appears to have been accepted by the head of the Central Command, Avi Balut, as a recommendation, and in practice, it does not appear that such an event has been met with any response from the IDF.

Such a step is a dangerous escalation of Arab terrorism, when armed terrorists can easily steal PA military vehicles. This is especially true when the city of Jenin is close to the central cities and is only about a 20-minute drive from Afula.
