As the IDF seeks to erect, for the first time, a permanent post in an area meant to be fully controlled by the Palestinian Authority, two soldiers involved in that effort were wounded by an explosive device.<\/p>\n

The post is set to be built in the northern West Bank\u2019s Jenin refugee camp. During a scan of the area, troops spotted a suspicious object that then exploded, seriously wounding an officer and lightly wounding a noncommissioned officer, according to the IDF, which was still probing what set off the blast.<\/p>\n

The two wounded troops were taken to a hospital, and their families were notified, the army said.<\/p>\n

The military has sealed off the Jenin refugee camp since a counter-terrorism operation began in early 2025 that displaced tens of thousands of people in Jenin and other refugee camps in the northern West Bank.<\/p>\n

The post in Jenin would mark the first time the IDF has set up a permanent presence in the part of the\u00a0 West Bank designated as Area A. Under the 1990s-era Oslo Accords, Area A, which includes major Palestinian population centers, was placed under the civil and security control of the PA, a governing body established by that agreement.<\/p>\n

The Haaretz newspaper first reported Thursday on the military\u2019s plan to establish a permanent post in Jenin. The report cited IDF Supreme Court filings that responded to a petition by the Association for Civil Rights in Israel against the mass displacement in the area.<\/p>\n

According to the report, the IDF told the court that the new post is \u201cintended to replace the presence of forces in residents\u2019 homes, and regulate the deployment of forces in the area from a long-term perspective, as part of implementing the operational conditions for a safe exit from the camp.\u201d<\/p>\n

United Nations data cited in court filings in the petition said 33,000 Palestinians remain displaced since the 2025 operation, according to Haaretz.<\/p>\n

The war with Iran has been draining for all of us in Israel. But when I heard about a high casualty incident \u2013 ballistic missile impacts in Arad and Dimona that left nearly 200 people wounded \u2013 I drank a cup of coffee, packed a bag, and headed south.<\/p>\n

There, I spoke with Shilgit, the head of an after-school program for underprivileged youth. Standing outside her destroyed center, Shilgit said it was a miracle that no children were hurt and spoke about the community coming together in the hours since.<\/p>\n

As a Times of Israel reporter, I\u2019m committed to telling stories of resilience like Shilgit\u2019s. But my colleagues and I can’t do this alone.
