IDF soldiers operated during the day (Wednesday) in the Jenin refugee camp, during the operation Yamam forces killed a number of armed men, among them the commander of the Jenin battalion, Muhammad Zubeidi, the brother of the terrorist Zakaria Zubeidi, the commander of the Tanzim in the city who was imprisoned in Israel and escaped from prison in Rosh Hashanah of the previous year.
As in recent weeks, the activity is being carried out by IDF reserve forces, and the activity is aggressive, similar to what you see in Gaza. First, engineering forces enter, scraping the road and uncovering explosives. After them come large infantry forces that close in on the houses (in Gaza, these are the tanks and armored vehicles that arrive after the bulldozers).
The infantry forces closed on a number of houses in order to arrest wanted persons and they encountered fire from terrorists. They returned fire, from which at least 4 terrorists were injured.
Contrary to previous activities, this time the IDF decided to destroy houses where Palestinians live, informing them to vacate the houses at short notice. The Damaj neighborhood adjacent to the Jenin refugee camp recalled the scenes of destruction from Gaza.
