(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - An undercover Israeli Border Police force encountered heavy fire from Palestinians during an operation in the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank early Monday. The force arrested a former Palestinian security prisoner who was communicating with Hamas militants in Gaza to carry out terrorist attacks within Israel. The arrest was completed without resistance, but when the force prepared to leave, they encountered heavy fire. Palestinian video showed militants shooting at the Israeli forces with pistols and rifles. In the exchange of fire, four Palestinian men were killed and three others were wounded. There were no Israeli casualties. Photographs of two of the deceased Palestinians shared on social media show them holding M16 rifles with scopes for improved accuracy. It is clear that this was an organized group of militants and not innocent civilians.
