A terrorist armed with a knife attempted to stab an IDF soldier in the Jenin<\/a> area in the West Bank, the IDF spokesperson announced on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

Soldiers responded by firing at the terrorist, killing him.<\/p>\n

No IDF injuries were reported.<\/p>\n

IDF soldiers raided over 100 houses near Jenin and detained two terrorist during a West Bank operation<\/a>, the IDF spokesperson announced on Monday.<\/p>\n

Undercover counterterrorism commandos from the Duvdevan unit operated with intelligence guidance from the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) to detain the terrorists in the area of Kabatiya, the military added.<\/p>\n

The two terrorists were suspected of planning and promoting terrorist plots to harm the citizens of the State of Israel and the IDF, the military said.<\/p>\n

The IDF later came under scrutiny when Army Radio reported on Tuesday that IDF soldiers wrote numbers<\/a> on the bodies of Palestinian suspects during the operation.<\/p>\n

The military responded to the allegations, telling Army Radio “security forces marked suspects who were being interrogated as part of the operation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Commanders added that “the seriousness of the act was explained to the soldiers, and lessons were drawn from the matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

This comes a month after The Jerusalem Post learned that the IDF increased<\/a> its deployment across the West Bank to 26 battalions, adding two battalions amid a sharp escalation marked by Palestinian terrorist attacks and attacks from settlers.<\/p>\n

The figure represents the number of battalions operating across the West Bank, not a disclosed number of soldiers.<\/p>\n

The increase directly followed the deadly shooting near Gilad Farm.<\/p>\n
