[IsraelTimes] Man in his 60s said lightly wounded after assault in backyard of his West Bank-adjacent home, as IDF counterterrorism operation rages on across security barrier
A Paleostinian from the West Bank city of Jenin was detained Saturday for allegedly attacking an Israeli man in the northern community of Gan Ner on Friday, police and the Shin Bet said.
The suspect, a 25-year-old resident of Jenin, was captured Saturday morning while hiding in a horse stable in a nearby community, police said.
The victim, an Israeli man in his 60s, was hit in the head with a hoe in his backyard, sustaining light wounds, according to medics.
The attacker was initially thought to have been Israeli, but further investigation indicated he was a Paleostinian from the West Bank, police said.
Channel 12 quoted the victim’s wife as saying the attacker stood outside the door of their balcony.
"It’s very concerning when you’re certain that the town is secured, and suddenly it happens in the most sensitive place, the entrance to your house," she said. "My husband struggled with him, tried to protect himself... we just felt powerless, not knowing how to act."
Gan Ner, which is not in the West Bank, stands near the territory’s northern security barrier — close to Jenin, where the IDF last month launched a counterterrorism operation dubbed "Iron Wall." The operation has since been expanded to other areas of the West Bank.
On Thursday, the IDF said it had killed over 60 Paleostinian terror operatives and detained more than 210 in the ongoing operation.

...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

In that time, according to the IDF, troops have arrested some 6,000 wanted Paleostinians across the West Bank, including more than 2,350 affiliated with Hamas.
The Paleostinian Authority’s health ministry says more than 900 West Bank Paleostinians have been killed during the war in Gaza. The IDF says the vast majority were button men killed in exchanges of fire, rioters who clashed with troops, or Lions of Islam carrying out attacks.
In the same period, 48 people, including Israeli security personnel, have been killed in terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank. Another eight members of the security forces were killed in festivities with terror operatives in the West Bank.
