IDF releases footage showing gunmen using West Bank mosques to attack troops
2025-01-12
[IsraelTimes] The IDF releases footage showing how Palestinian gunmen in the West Bank have used mosques to launch attacks on Israeli troops and carry out other terror activities.

“Time and time again, the IDF detects terror activity by terrorists at civilian infrastructures, including mosques, hospitals and clinics, and educational institutions,” the military says in a statement.

In a first example, the IDF says that during a raid in Jenin on November 19, Palestinian gunmen opened fire on troops from within a mosque in the city.

The following morning, the military says troops returned to the mosque to search it, where they found on its bottom floor a shooting range and training area, as well as firing positions and observation posts.

“Dozens of shell casings from the shooting that took place the night before were found near every window in the mosque,” the IDF says.

During the same operation in November, the IDF says a drone identified a large group of gunmen opening fire at troops from outside another mosque in Jenin.

In a separate raid in Tulkarem on December 25, the military says a drone spotted terror operatives hurling explosive devices at troops from the roof of a mosque in the city.

#3  Muezzins and searchlights and flak
And the Kaaba all covered in black
And a thrill through the Reich:
Will the infidels strike
Muslims' missal and plan of attack?
...
As an Amsterdam man lights a match,
police and firetrucks respond with dispatch!

#1  The minarets are the bayonets,
the domes are the helmets.
The mosques are our barracks,
the believers are the soldiers.


No surprise.
