Israeli military forces launched an arrest operation in central Jenin on Thursday evening, following an attempted lynch of an Israeli mother and her son earlier in the day, according to reports from the Abu Ali Express outlet. The operation comes after the two residents of Samaria accidentally drove into the city and were attacked by dozens of terrorists who threw stones and attempted to open their car doors. The pair escaped unharmed and reached the Gilboa Crossing.
The incident began at approximately 15:57 Jerusalem, when reports emerged that two Israeli civilians had entered Jenin accidentally and were attacked with stones. The IDF Spokesperson confirmed that the two were attacked by terrorists who threw a stone at their vehicle, causing damage but no injuries. The IDF launched an initial operation in Jenin, including arrests of wanted suspects, and reiterated that entry into Area A is prohibited and dangerous. By 17:40 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that IDF forces were active in Jenin. The current arrest operation in central Jenin represents a further phase of the military response.
As The Zioneer reported on July 5, Israeli forces have conducted operations in Jenin in recent months, targeting terrorist infrastructure and wanted individuals. The city has been a focal point of counter-terror efforts in Judea and Samaria.
No details have been disclosed regarding the specific targets of the arrest operation, its scale, or whether any casualties have occurred. The Home Front Command has not issued any special instructions for residents of the area.
