Meanwhile, Palestinian Authority security forces seized a vehicle loaded with locally-made explosives, as it was heading towards the Jenin camp in northern Samaria, Ynet reported on Monday.
P.A. security forces also apprehended three Jenin residents wanted for two years over gunfire incidents.
Against the backdrop of Ramallah’s offensive over the past two weeks, Kan News shared a video purportedly of Jenin-based terrorists threatening suicide bombing attacks on P.A. security forces.
“You will never enter the Jenin camp, over our bodies,” the terrorists said in the video.
