A soldier was killed on Tuesday in the Jenin refugee camp after two days of fighting

A soldier in the Agoz unit was killed on Tuesday in the Jenin refugee camp, when the forces were leaving the place after two days of fighting. The IDF is investigating the circumstances of the shooting of David Yehuda Yitzchak, 23 years old from the Beit El settlement, and is investigating the possibility that he was hit by army fire. He will be buried today at 4:00 PM in the military cemetery on Mount Herzl. The number of Palestinians killed in the operation reached 12 last night.
Defense Minister Yoav Galant referred to the operation in Jenin during a discussion in the Labor and Welfare Committee and said that "terror will have no place where it can hide." According to him, "the difficult news about the fall (of the soldier) comes at the end of an operation... in the framework of which two brigades operated in the center of Jenin: one inside the refugee camp and one around it." The Minister of Defense added that "we arrived at dozens of sites where the terrorists from various organizations had located a factory for the production of terrorism, charges, ammunition and various types of weapons. This thing was destroyed in a daring operation by the IDF soldiers and the Border Guard." "Just as we acted two months ago in Gaza, so we acted against all the terrorist organizations in Jenin and we will know how to copy it anywhere else," Gallant said. "We extend a hand of peace and partnership to everyone, but whoever tries to harm the children and citizens of Israel will meet the iron wall of the IDF and bear responsibility for his actions."
IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari told this morning that "the operation in the very complex area was successful, but we paid a heavy price. The operation is over but the fight against terrorism is not over, our situation is better now in the sense that the camp has lost capabilities. The damage caused to him is very serious." Tonight, five rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip, and shrapnel from one of them hit a house in Sderot. The IDF responded by attacking Hamas positions in the Strip.
