Terrorism on the roads of Judea and Samaria is on the rise, and since this morning (Thursday), at least 30 stone throwing attacks, six Molotov Cocktail attacks, and a number of other attacks have been committed against Israelis.
Several Jewish vehicles were stoned on the road between Tapuach and Ariel, one after the other. One person was lightly injured. Near Yakir, two vehicles and a bus were stoned.
In the village of Huwara, where there has been a significant jump in terrorist attacks in recent weeks, four incidents have taken place since the morning hours, including the throwing of stones and burning tires.
In one incident a barrier of burning tires was set up across a road.
The attacks follow Thursday morning's successful counterterrorism operation in the Jenin refugee camp, in the course of which terrorists actively plotting a major attack were eliminated.
Although security forces attempted to penetrate the camp without being detected, terrorists were still expecting them and set up a warning system as well as 30 separate barricades to block their entry. As soon as the IDF and special forces officers were spotted, gunfire broke out, first targeting a jeep carrying a senior IDF commander.
