IDF confirms nabbing terror operative during daylight raid in Jenin
2023-02-13
[IsraelTimes] The military confirms that Israeli troops arrested Jabril Zubeidi during an operation in Jenin today.

In a joint statement with the Border Police and Shin Bet, the Israel Defense Forces says Zubeidi turned himself over to undercover officers and soldiers who carried out the daytime raid. The statement describes Zubeidi as a local operative with the Fatah-linked Tanzim terror group and says he’s been involved in attacks on Israel forces.

It alleges he also helped plan attacks and cites his suspected involvement in the snatching of an Israeli Druze teenager’s body after he was killed in a car crash.
That’d be 17-year-old Tiran Fero last November, a very strange decision on their part.
The remains were ultimately returned.

The IDF says Israeli soldiers returned fire after being shot at in Jenin, and also had explosives and rocks hurled toward them. The military adds that troops found ammunition in a car while carrying out searches.

It also says it’s aware of Paleostinian reports of injuries, as the PA’s health ministry says three people were seriously hurt by Israeli fire. No Israeli forces were maimed.

PA says 14-year-old died of wounds sustained in Jenin clashes
Unfortunately, he was led into danger by his elders, and now he is dead. Still, the Palestinian Authorities will pay his family a hefty sum to reward them for producing such killable offspring for the cause.
[IsraelTimes] The Paleostinian Authority Health Ministry says a teenager has died as a result of wounds sustained during festivities with Israeli troops in Jenin earlier.

The ministry identifies the teen as 14-year-old Qusai Radwan Waked.

Two other Paleostinians were seriously hurt during the festivities.

It was not clear to what extent the teen was participating in the festivities, but the IDF said troops had returned fire at button men who were shooting at them as they were arresting a wanted terror operative.
