Israel’s security forces eliminated an Islamist terror cell planning to
attack Israeli civilians. Thursday morning, at least nine wanted
operatives of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorist group were
killed in an Israeli counter-terrorism raid in the West Bank town of Jenin.

Israeli military sources describe the terrorist squad as a “ticking time
bomb” which was close to unleashing deadly attacks inside Israel.
“Israeli security forces “dismantled a ticking time bomb” in Thursday
morning’s raid on a terrorist cell planning to carry out an attack on a
civilian target in Israel, a senior Israel Defense Forces (IDF) officer
said,” the Israel TV channel i24news reported. ”

Besides taking heavy fire from the PIJ gunmen, Israeli soldiers entering
Jenin were apparently ambushed by the Palestinian Police. “One of the
Palestinian gunmen killed in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) raid in
Jenin belonged to the Palestinian Civil Police Force, an official body
tasked with cooperating with the Israeli military in counterterrorism
efforts in the West Bank,” the TV channel added.

The Israeli raid comes amid a surge in Palestinian bombings and terror
attacks. In late November, Jerusalem was rocked by two blats during the
early morning rush hour. A 16-year-old boy was killed, and 20 others
were injured by bombs planted by a Palestinian terrorist cell.

The slain terrorists had Israeli blood on their hands. In a joint
statement obtained by Legal Insurrection, the Israeli military (IDF),
the Israel Securities Authority (ISA), and Border Police disclosed that
the “Islamic Jihad terror operatives were heavily involved in executing
and planning multiple major terror attacks, including shooting attacks
on IDF soldiers and Israeli civilians.”

The Jerusalem Post reported the details of the Israeli raid:

As many as nine Palestinians in the Jenin refugee camp on Thursday were
killed in an extended battle with the IDF which was trying to thwart
planned terror attacks as well as to capture at least three known
Islamic Jihad terrorists.

The operation was a joint one involving the Shin Bet (Israel Security
Agency), the IDF and the police.

The IDF said that when it approached the residence where the three
terrorists were known to be hiding out, two of them started running out
of the residence while armed and were killed by IDF forces.

A third wanted terrorist willingly surrendered himself to be arrested,
while a fourth armed Palestinian there attempted to engage Israeli
security forces and was also killed.

IDF anti-explosive experts entered the residence and safely exploded two
bombs that the terrorists had in their possession.

The IDF said that the three wanted terrorists had already participated
in multiple attacks and were planning even more substantial attacks.

Hamas, Islamic Jihad Vow Revenge for Slain Terrorists
Gaza-based Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist groups
pledged to avenge their fellow Islamists eliminated in the latest
Israeli counter-terrorism operation. The Times of Israel reported:

Islamic Jihad spokesman Tariq Salmi vows that “the resistance is
everywhere and ready and willing for the next confrontation,” after nine
Palestinians, including several terrorists linked to the group, were
killed during an IDF raid in Jenin earlier today. (…)

Saleh al-Arouri, deputy leader of Hamas, vows that Israel “will pay the
price for the Jenin massacre.”

“Our resistance will not break, and our response will come soon.”

Israel’s Arab and Muslim neighbors came to the defense of jihadi
terrorists in distress. “Both Egypt and Turkey lob criticism at Israel
after a deadly IDF raid in Jenin that killed nine Palestinians, most of
whom are believed to be members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror
group,” The Times of Israel noted in a separate report.

Sometimes, when you are planning to kill people, they find out and kill
you first.

“Who does the hard thing? He who can.”

There’s nothing good about what happened here, except that if it is as
represented, this seems the least bad alternative, and somebody had the
will and means to do the hard thing.

In the really real wold, we don’t get to make clean calls, let alone
calls known to be pristine before the fact. Making consequential calls
when they’re needed is being human in the world, and hard.

Who does the hard thing? He who can.

Besides taking heavy fire from the PIJ gunmen, Israeli soldiers entering
Jenin were apparently ambushed by the Palestinian Police. “One of the
Palestinian gunmen killed in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) raid in
Jenin belonged to the Palestinian Civil Police Force, an official body
tasked with cooperating with the Israeli military in counterterrorism
efforts in the West Bank,” the TV channel added.

The quote doesn’t justify the conclusion. It’s very common for PA
policemen to also be terrorists, so the fact that one of the gunmen was
a policeman doesn’t mean the police ambushed them. The guy was probably
off duty and acting on his own rather than in his capacity as a policeman.

Not really. It takes two to get along; it only takes one to fight. When
one side wants to get along and the other wants only to kill, getting
along becomes impossible. And when you’re supposed to be cooperating
with a police force while knowing that it sympathizes with the enemy,
many of its members moonlight as enemy soldiers with its knowledge and
sanction, and at any moment the police force itself may openly join the
enemy, you’ve got a tough balancing act.

The concept of “Palestine” is a lie. There is no historical, religious,
moral, legal or practical justification for another failed Arab country
naming itself after an extinct Greek people that existed before
Christianity and Islam, and whose only real purpose is to make war with
Israel.

Why is it still being called “the Jenin refugee camp”?
