The IDF has been carrying out “unprecedented operations” in major Palestinian terror hotbeds in Samaria over the last eight months that have borne excellent fruit, the colonel in charge of Central Command’s engineering division said.
Referring specifically to the most dangerous neighborhoods of Tulkarem, Jenin and Nur a-Shams, which are misleadingly called “refugee camps,” Col. A. said, “You have to understand that the bold win, and when you freeze in place and fear your own shadow, bad things happen. Today we are carrying out unprecedented operations here, things that have never been done here before.”
The army’s forays into terror strongholds in Judea and Samaria have not ceased since its inception in 2022 with operation “Breaking the Waves,” even with the ongoing war in Gaza, with various operations steadily increasing the pressure on the terrorists.
The results have been forthcoming, the security establishment said in May.
While there were an average of 214 terrorist attacks a month in 2023, the numbers dropped to 115 in 2024 and further declined to just 57 in the first five months of this year.
The Israel Defense Forces continues to find terrorists every which way they turn in every operation they undertake and it should be daily headline news. If only Israel had a publicc relations arm that was every bit as powerful, if not more, than Arab propaganda, what a difference we might see.
