Israeli security forces are continuing a counter-terror operation dubbed 'Combined Fist' in the Anata neighborhood and Shuafat refugee camp in northern Jerusalem, according to Arab reports. The operation aims to clear the area of terror infrastructure. No official IDF statement has been released.
Arab media reports early Thursday morning indicate that Israeli security forces are continuing Operation Combined Fist in the Anata neighborhood and Shuafat refugee camp in northern Jerusalem. The operation, launched Monday night, has been ongoing for over two days, with no official IDF statement on its scope or duration.
The Zioneer first reported the operation's launch at 23:06 Monday, based on intelligence of planned attacks during the upcoming holiday period. Shortly thereafter, commanders were identified as Deputy Commander Eran Levy and Col. Anan Fares. IDF drones were deployed for surveillance and public announcements. Channel 14 later reported exclusively that the operation targets over 100 Hamas objectives. No official IDF statement has been released throughout.
The Shuafat camp and Anata have been frequent sites of Israeli security activity. The Zioneer has previously reported on raids, demolitions of illegal structures, and security operations in the area. The Shuafat checkpoint, a major security installation, has been a focal point of friction.
Details on arrests, casualties, or the operation's conclusion remain unconfirmed from official sources. The IDF has not issued a formal statement.
