“The Commander of the Border Guard, Superintendent Amir Cohen, referred today (Wednesday) to the activity of the IDF forces in Jenin, in a speech he delivered at the graduation ceremony of the military training course held at the military school. He referred to the incident in which the Palestinian girl was killed, and said that he salutes the fighters.
“I firmly and unreservedly expressed my backing and support for the fighters,” said the border guard commander. “I state that in the investigation that was presented to me a few hours after the incident, our fighters acted morally, with values, with courage, with determination and saved human lives. And for that I salute them!”
Chief Amir Cohen also said: “Fighting in hostile territory, as we saw recently in the Jenin sector, is sometimes accompanied by the fog of battle. Meanwhile, we are obliged to make decisions under fire and in a short period of time.
“The Border Guard is a professional corps that thoroughly investigates every operational incident. And this was also done in cooperation with the IDF in the last incident in the Jenin sector where the fighters acted while actually risking their lives. In the investigation that was presented to me, I expressed decisively and without reservation the backing and support for our fighters.”

He added: “In the spirit of the World Cup, I say that we do not have VAR, we do not have the ability to look through the screens and decide what is right or wrong. I state that, in the investigation that was presented to me a few hours after the event, our fighters acted morally, with values, with courage, with determination and saved my life Adam and for that I salute them.”
As you may remember, on the night between Sunday and the second of this week, the Palestinian girl Jenna Zakharna died tonight in the dangerous refugee camp in Jenin during an IDF force operation there. The Palestinians accused the IDF of being responsible for her death.

In a conversation with the Shabbat Square, a security source estimated that “during the activity there were dozens of armed men on the roofs of the houses in Jenin, who fired at the forces and the forces fired at them as well.” In addition, the security system investigated the suspicion that the killed girl served as an observer who helped the terrorists. The girl stayed on the roof and took pictures of the troops.
According to the Ynet report, the IDF revealed in a preliminary investigation that the forces did shoot at the rooftops as well, but added that they did not identify a girl or woman during the shooting. Seven bullets were found in the girl’s body – which is not characteristic of IDF force shooting. This is according to the report of the military correspondent Nir Debori in N12.
