Palestinian Islamic Jihad
Israeli forces were attempting to arrest seniors Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists planning a major attack.
He was one of three men who met with Islamic Jihad terrorists and declared support for the Palestinian cause.
A knife-wielding Palestinian charged Israeli troops near Ofra, while two members of Islamic Jihad were shot while carrying out a drive-by attack near Jenin.
Gunmen attempted to harm members of the anti-Zionist group, but the attack was thwarted, according to Israeli media.
The social media giant reportedly torpedoed a live interview with Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s leader, but then reinstated the account after the Al Mayadeen news outlet contacted the social media giant and “solved the issue.”
Islamic Jihad operative Yahi al-Saadi is the the son of Bassam al-Saadi, the terror group’s Judea and Samaria commander, whose arrest helped spark three days of fighting in Gaza.
Previously, Francesca Albanese claimed: “Israel says ‘resistance equals terrorism,’ but an occupation requires violence and generates violence.”
Islamic Jihad commander Muhammad Saadi and Naeem Zubeidi of the Fatah-linked Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades were killed after attacking Israeli forces engaged in a counterterror operation in Wadi Burqin.
Both Hamas and Islamic Jihad seek to set the area ablaze and view Jenin as the ideal ignition point.
Report: Palestinian Authority forces arrested two members of the terror group, several bombs and a large quantity of explosives.
The Palestinian, who had a permit to work in Israel, had been recruited by Gaza-based terror group Palestinian Islamic Jihad, according to the intelligence agency.
“The operation in the occupied city of Jerusalem is a natural response to the occupation, its terrorism, and its criminal practices against the defenseless Palestinian people and their holy sites,” said Islamic jihad.
