Israeli Forces Eliminate Islamic Jihad Terror Cell Planning Major Attacks
(Foundation for Defense of Democracies) Israeli special forces conducted an unusually complex raid in Jenin last Thursday on a safe house where a Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) planning meeting was taking place, eliminating a cell planning major attacks. "The Jenin operation shows that...Israel retains its tactical skills in the face of dogged Palestinian attempts to pull off a terrorist outrage. There is additional psychological value to the blow delivered so deep within Jenin where Islamic Jihad had clearly thought it was sufficiently protected to hatch a new plot unmolested," said Mark Dubowitz, CEO of FDD. For all the talk of a Palestinian national struggle, the gunmen of Jenin and other West Bank trouble spots are, for all intents and purposes, armed criminal gangs who pose as much danger to Palestinian civilians as they do to Israel.
