The Israeli Air Force is providing aerial coverage for soldiers conducting counter-terror operations in northern Samaria, the military said on Thursday afternoon.

The IDF added that troops are currently operating in the area of Jenin.

The missions are part of a “broad” counter-terror effort launched on Tuesday.

The Israel Defense Forces, Israel Police and Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) said intelligence indicated there are attempts to establish terrorist strongholds and build terrorist infrastructure in the area.
