Around 1am Saturday morning, information was received from the Shabak regarding a terrorist cell, which at the time was traveling by car from Jenin to Tulkarem. The cell intended to carry out a large terror attack, possibly similar to the massacre in Itamar in 2011.

At 1:30am, Yamam elite forces located the cell and while they attempted to carry out the arrests, the terrorists opened fire. The Yamam forces responded back killing the three terrorists.

Unfortunately 4 Yamam fighters were injured and 1 is in a serious condition but stable, he is anaesthetised and on a respirator. He is said to be one of the best in the field. Please pray for his recovery!

Several hours later, in a joint IDF and Shabak operation in the community of Shuweika, near Tulkarem, troops from the IDF's Duvdevan Unit and Shabak apprehended the last terrorist suspected of being a member of the cell.

Let the Ramadan begin!!

Tonight is the start of Ramadan, these videos are of the gatherings by the Shchem Gate in Jerusalem. Arrests are already being made due to many causing trouble (nothing new).

Ramadan is supposed to be a time of fasting, prayer, reflection and community yet in this part of the world it's mayhem and death. Good luck to us all for the next month.
