Tel Aviv [Israel], July 5 (ANI/TPS): Israel's Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant issued a statement Tuesday night on Israel's ongoing "Operation Home and Garden" against the terrorist infrastructure in Jenin."In the last two years, Jenin has become a factory for the production of terrorism, in the last two days it has ended," he said."What we are doing now in Jenin and what we did two months ago in Gaza, we will know how to duplicate and copy wherever needed," added Gallant."Anyone who tries to harm Israeli citizens will pay a price - we will reach him, all the way to the bedroom, arrest him and bring him to justice."The Israel Defense Forces' intensified security operation in Jenin entered its second day on Tuesday, and looked to be on track to achieving its goal of shattering the concept of Jenin as a terrorist haven out of reach of the Israeli military.The operation exposed some of the systems set up by terroristsconsisting of local operatives as well as Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas membersthat had made Jenin so challenging for ordinary Israeli security missions recently: War rooms where operatives received video feeds and radio communications from across the city, and coordinated the activities of gunmen; hundreds of weapons, large quantities of explosive devices hidden in underground bunkers; and the beginnings of a rocket production industry.These threats, collectively dubbed by the defence industry as "terror infrastructure," are being systematically eliminated by a brigade-sized IDF force comprising mostly special units, backed by unmanned aerial vehicle firepower, that moved into the city overnight Sunday.Some 10 Palestinian combatants had been killed by Monday noon, with the majority of the remaining hundreds of terrorist gunmen choosing to go underground and avoid clashing with the IDF, which surprised them with its entrance into the city from multiple directions. Dozens of terror suspects have been arrested.Dozens of IEDs and other bombs were found and neutralized by special forces, as were bomb-making labs.IDF Spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari stated on Sunday evening that precise intelligence enabled the launch of the operation, which is focused on "dismantling terrorist infrastructure, seizing weapons, apprehending terror suspects and preventing future attacks."As of Tuesday afternoon, there were no reports of noncombatant casualties, and the IDF has enabled civilians to evacuate Jenin Camp during the operation. Hagari stressed that air power was used in a minimal manner, precisely, to protect IDF units on the ground.According to IDF figures, some 50 terror attacks targeting Israelis over the past 18 months can be traced back to Jenin. Twenty-five Israelis have been killed in Palestinian terror attacks since the start of 2023.The first air strike, which occurred after 1 a.m. on Monday, targeted a terrorist headquarters located next to a UNRWA facility, a school and a medical centre. Due to the small-diameter munitions employed in the strike, none of the civilian sites were damaged.A mosque in Jenin camp was found later on Sunday to have been used as a cover for terror activity, with a tunnel dug underneath it and a weapons storage centre placed there, according to Hagari.No less importantly, some 2,000 residents of Jenin travelled to work in Israel on Sunday, and over 100,000 Palestinians from Judea and Samaria worked in Israel, as goods continued to arrive in the city, and no curfew was placed on it.As such, the IDF's precedent for stepped-up security operations has now been established. Once intelligence and conditions are ripe, the IDF will be able to repeat this actionthough it will be hoping that the Palestinian Authority regains some of its ability to rule northern Samaria instead.So long as the power vacuum in the areas of Jenin and Shechem (Nablus) continues, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, other local terror factions and Iran will be sure to fill the space, necessitating further such action.
