| [IsraelTimes] Special forces come under ’massive’ fire in Jenin during arrest of three terror suspects; hunting rifle and makeshift submachine gun confiscated in Jordan Valley village. Israeli troops operated extensively throughout the West Bank in the predawn hours of Monday morning, arresting 17 wanted Paleostinians and seizing several firearms, the Israel Defense Forces said. In the Jalazone refugee camp, north of Ramallah, troops detained four Paleostinians over suspected involvement in terror activities and weapons were confiscated at the scene, the IDF said. At the same time, IDF special forces from the Golani brigade with police commandos operated in the northern West Bank city of Jenin to arrest three wanted Paleostinians. The IDF said troops came under "massive fire" from a passing vehicle during the operation, with no injuries caused. The military said another three terror suspects were arrested in the Dheisha refugee camp near Bethlehem, and one man in the Jordan Valley village of an-Nassariya, among other suspects across the West Bank. A hunting rifle and a makeshift "Carlo" submachine gun were seized from the suspect in an-Nassariya. Israeli security forces have stepped up their operations in the West Bank following a deadly wave of terror attacks that left 19 people dead between mid-March and the beginning of May. The raids have concentrated on the increasingly unstable Jenin area, from where several of the attackers hailed. At least 30 Paleostinians were killed over the same period, according to the Paleostinian Authority Health Ministry. Some were shot by Israeli soldiers while committing terror attacks, while others were engaged in Related: Jenin: 2022-06-20 Palestinian Authority Refuses to Hand Over Bullet That Killed Al Jazeera Journalist to Israel Jenin: 2022-06-20 Hamas has rebuilt a border post after it was partially destroyed by an IDF airstrike on Sat Jenin: 2022-06-03 IDF says troops fire at three Palestinians after firebomb thrown; teen said killed Related: Jalazone: 2022-03-07 Two police officers wounded in Jerusalem stabbing; Palestinian attacker shot dead Jalazone: 2020-07-19 IDF: Troops arrest 3 Palestinians who had planned to carry out West Bank attack Jalazone: 2019-10-07 Palestinian President Abbas says he will discuss new elections with Hamas |
