Jenin: Israel's New Battlefront
(Jerusalem Post) Seth J. Frantzman - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday, "On the directive of the Security Cabinet, the IDF, the ISA and the Israel Police have today begun an extensive and significant military operation to defeat terrorism in Jenin" in the northern West Bank. He said this was linked to the new goal of bolstering security in the West Bank. The terrorists are active in Jenin, Tulkarm, Qalqilya, Nablus and many villages in the northern West Bank, using improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and with a large number of rifles in the hands of terrorists. The prisoners being released as part of the hostage deal could also fan the flames in the area.
