MODERN HEBRON

As the war against Hamas rages on in Gaza, so has Arab terrorism continued both within and from Judea and Samaria. In response, the army is often forced to conduct raids into the various Arab settlements throughout the area and in the process, soldiers are discovering hidden weapons caches, tunnels, etc., in residential, medical, and educational areas, just as in Gaza. Among these settlements raided is the Arab settlement in the Jewish holy city of Hebron. On November 16, a group of terrorists, two of which were from Hebron and who were affiliated with Hamas, carried out a terror attack at the Tunnels Checkpoint south of Jerusalem in which IDF soldier Corporal Avraham Fetena was killed. On January 18, soldiers, in pursuit of the terrorists, went into the settlement in Hebron and found many weapons and Hamas flags in their homes. On the 21^st, IDF reservists, and engineering and local Border Police forces destroyed the terrorists’ homes.
