Troops foiling around two Palestinian terror attacks every day, officer claims

Israeli defense officials believe that they are stopping an average of two terror attacks every day that troops crack down on the northern West Bank city of Jenin and its surrounding area, Channel 13 news reports, citing an unnamed senior official.

The channel says that the military claims they are preventing attacks in which weapons or terrorists are already ready to go.

Aside from mass casualty assaults, which Israel has seen a rash of in recent weeks, defense officials also classify stone-throwing attacks and certain actions during clashes between Palestinians and troops as terror attacks.
