The two IDF soldiers were seriously injured early Sunday during four separate clashes with armed terrorists linked to Hamas and the Islamic Jihad in Judea and Samaria. At least five scumcrumpets were killed with their hopes of killing Israeli Jews thwarted.
The IDF was on a mission at the village Burqin, three miles west of Jenin, to arrest terrorists who were tied to Hamas and had plans of attacking civilian Israelis. When they entered the village, they were met with heavy arms fire from the house of the suspect they planned to arrest. The IDF retaliated and killed one terrorist with the link to a Hamas cell.
The injured IDF soldiers were choppered out of the area and sent to Rambam Hospital in northern Israel. They are members of the IDF's Duvdevan Special Unit, specializing in counter-terrorism operations. They are both in stable condition and their families have been notified.

The IDF stated that “the circumstances surrounding the incident will be investigated,” and noted that the military was looking into the possibility of the injuries being the result of friendly fire.
According to IDF Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Ran Kochav, the incident was part of five separate operations that took place on Sunday night, aimed at arresting Palestinians with ties to terrorist organizations and seizing weapons and other materials used for Hamas’ infrastructure in Judea and Samaria.
The four other operations ended with four dead Hamassholes who battled with IDF forces, ending in 20 arrests and no Israeli casualties, but Kochav agreed that there remained a possibility of retaliatory strikes from the Gaza Strip.
“This was a Hamas cell, one that we have been following for a long time with intelligence from the Shin Bet. There’s always a chance that there can be rockets, especially since this was a Hamas cell and the group is always trying to connect Gaza to the West Bank,” he explained.
The Islamic Jihad issued a statement Sunday morning praising the terrorists who were killed overnight and warning Israel of continued terrorist activity in Judea and Samaria.
“Our fighters dealt bravely with the incident in Jenin, took part in confronting the occupation forces and caused significant damage to the enemy,” a statement issued by the Islamic Jihad and cited by Israeli media read.
“Israel should expect dark days in [Judea and Samaria],” the statement added.
