Hamas and Islamic Jihad declare “victory” in Jenin as IDF withdraws; 5 rockets from Gaza intercepted by Iron Dome.

The operation will continue “as long as necessary” to restore security, says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Twenty years later, Israel is being forced to resort to the same tactics used during the Second Intifada.

“In the face of terrorism, we will be proactive and decisive. Anyone who harms the citizens of Israel will pay a heavy price.”

The special operation led to the thwarting of the plot to harm Israelis on the eastern Mediterranean island nation.

Iran, Hamas and Islamic Jihad are trying to saturate Judea and Samaria with weapons and funds, and encourage local cells to carry out attacks.

Thanks to a recent court ruling, Israel can now seize all digital assets linked to any wallet that has ever funded terrorist activity.

Israel fears rocket attacks from Samaria could become routine. Meanwhile, Israeli security confiscates Palestinian “pay-to-slay” payouts.

Is this really the right way for security officials to describe the violent response of Jewish settlers to Palestinian terrorism?
