Title: IDF Strikes Terrorist Cell in Jenin Mosque, Preventing an Imminent Attack
Date: October 22, 2023
In a successful joint operation carried out by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and the Shin Bet, a terrorist cell planning an attack in the near future was eliminated in the ‘Al Anatsri’ mosque in the city of Jenin. The IDF aircraft targeted an underground terrorist route within the mosque, which had been utilized as an operational base by Hamas and the GAP terrorist organizations. The attackers were responsible for a series of previous attacks and had been planning further acts of violence.
The IDF spokesperson confirmed the attack, clarifying that the terrorist cell had already carried out an attack on October 14 near the separation fence. Fortunately, no casualties were reported from that incident. Recent intelligence information had indicated that the terrorists were plotting a heinous attack, prompting the operation against the mosque used as their planning headquarters.
During Operation “Home and Garden,” IDF forces discovered terrorist infrastructure and weapons within the targeted mosque. The destruction of this infrastructure represents a significant blow to the terrorist organizations operating in the area. The IDF remains committed to dismantling terror networks and ensuring the safety of Israeli citizens.
In response to the IDF’s successful operation, Palestinians have reported that the mosque was attacked in Jenin. Reports of widespread attacks by the Israeli Air Force in the Gaza Strip have also emerged. The IDF has been actively targeted by terrorist organizations, with an IDF soldier seriously injured on Saturday due to an anti-tank missile strike in the Baram area.
Additionally, the IDF has also targeted Hezbollah positions, including a military compound from which a surface-to-air missile was launched at an IDF tank. Unfortunately, an IDF reservist lost his life due to anti-tank fire on the Lebanese border, while two others were moderately injured. Another incident involving an anti-tank missile resulted in injuries to foreign workers from Thailand.
Throughout the conflict, the IDF has faced kidnappings and abductions by Hamas, leaving around 100 to 200 Israelis with uncertain fates. The IDF estimates that the majority of the abductees are held by Hamas, with dozens of children and older individuals among the victims. To date, the number of Israelis killed or fallen is estimated at over 1,400, with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirming over 1,065 identified victims.
The situation remains highly volatile, with ongoing efforts to bring back all kidnapped and missing individuals. The IDF continues its operations to ensure the safety and security of Israeli citizens and will respond to any future threats.
