The Jenin Battalion: a non-aligned organization of terrorists operating against the Israeli security forces

The Jenin Battalion is a network of armed terrorist operatives in the Jenin refugee camp. Apparently the Jenin Battalion serves as a new model for networks of Palestinians terrorist operatives in Judea and Samaria wanting to attack Israeli security forces. Moreover, the PIJ's military-terrorist wing is interested in exporting the model to other cities in Judea and Samaria. The founding of the Nablus, Tulkarm and Bethlehem Battalions was recently announced, and in the future they may establish their own joint operations room.

The Supreme Committee for Jerusalem Affairs, under the auspices of the Palestinian Authority (PA), organized a conference entitled “Property Documentation and the Historical Status of the Holy Al-Aqsa Mosque.” The PA continues to attempt to establish its status in Jerusalem and reinforce the city’s Palestinian and Islamic identity. This is in light of Hamas’s recent intensive efforts to position itself as a defender of Al-Aqsa and Jerusalem, and possibly also in advance of the possibility of debating the issue in a future political process. To this end, it does not stop at denying and refuting the Jewish connection to the city and the holy sites, ostensibly relying on authentic documents that prove its claims.
