Israeli security forces have recently discovered an Islamic Jihad terror cell which was planning attacks against Israeli soldiers, the Israel Defense Forces said Thursday, after a gag order was lifted in the case.
In a joint operation between the IDF and the Shin Bet, 10 Islamic Jihad militants were arrested near Jenin in recent months. According to the investigation, the military headquarters of the cell was communicating with the Islamic Jihad in Syria, who transferred the cell large sums of money to purchase weapons and to fund other operations.
Moreover, the terror cell also had ties with Islamic Jihad in Gaza and with the non-governmental organization "Soul of Jerusalem," which is sponsored by the Islamic Jihad and is outlawed by Israel.

And some people still ask why Israel continues to settle and annex the West Bank. In my opinion, Israel cannot build fast enough. Only when Jews and other Israeli citizens inhabit the entire West Bank will that region be secure from Palestinian Terror attacks. Israel should settle the entire Holy Land, including the Golan Heights. Then Israel should fix her eyes on Gaza.
