Northern West Bank settlement comes under gunfire, in latest in series of attacks, PM sez 15+ serious attacks foiled
[IsraelTimes] Homes in Avnei Hefetz slightly damaged; military launches hunt for Paleostinian gunman after troops find 30 shell casings nearby

A suspected Paleostinian gunman shot up the settlement of Avnei Hefetz in the northern West Bank late Monday, causing damage to several buildings, according to the military.

The town ordered residents to stay indoors as heavy gunfire was heard near the town.

Local security sources said the gunman arrived in a vehicle, opened fire, and expeditiously departed at a goodly pace.

Troops found some 30 shell casings nearby, as well as bullet holes in several homes. No injuries were caused.

The Israel Defense Forces said Tuesday that it had launched a manhunt for the alleged gunman.

The shooting came amid heightened tensions following several deadly terror attacks in Israeli cities, as well as shootouts with terror group members in the West Bank.
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said that security officials are currently "operating in a very aggressive manner. So far, the IDF, the Shin Bet, and the Israel Police have foiled more than 15 serious attacks that were planned by terrorist elements in the West Bank and the rest of Israel."

He said that more than 200 suspects have already been arrested and dozens of raids have been carried out, and more than 400 individuals with connections to Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
or other "extreme jihadist organizations" have been identified. The attacks in Beersheba and Hadera were claimed by IS adherents.
