Videos on social media show armed Palestinians posing in Jenin, just days after IDF wraps up raid
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA group of Palestinians poses with weapons at a mourning tent for Islamic Jihad operatives in Jenin, just days after the IDF withdrew from the West Bank city after a 10-day counterterrorism operation.
Videos circulating on social media show dozens of armed men at the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group event, some with face masks, with posts reading “Glory to the resistance.”
The IDF said earlier this week that 14 Palestinian gunmen in Jenin were killed during the West Bank raid, among them the commander of Hamas in the city, while more than 30 wanted Palestinians were detained.
Israel has long said the camp is a hotbed of terror activity, and has moved in to make arrests and dismantle terror infrastructure from time to time.
