Summary of Activity in Judea, Samaria and the Jordan Valley Region
(18-26.06.08)

During this past week, IDF forces continued operating against terror
infrastructures in the regions of Judea, Samaria and the Jordan Valley. IDF
forces arrested 53 wanted Palestinians in the area, among them three
"Tanzim" terror operatives who were involved in producing explosive devices.
Additionally, 9 explosive devices were detonated at IDF forces in Judea,
Samaria and the Jordan Valley.

Three Israeli civilians were shot and wounded - severely, moderately and
lightly - while hiking near the Israeli community of Halamish in Judea and
Samaria. The wounded were initially treated on location and later evacuated
by helicopter for further medical treatment in a hospital.

On Tuesday (24.06.08) during an overnight joint IDF and ISA activity in the
Rafidia neighborhood in Nablus, the terrorist Tarek Ahmed Jumea Abu Jali,
24, a senior member of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror organization in
Jenin, and the leader of a squad planning a car bomb terror attack that was
thwarted, was killed. Abu Jali was killed in an exchange of fire that
erupted at the time of his arrest. It should be noted that Abu Jali
manufactured explosives and explosive devices, directed cells to perform
terror attacks in the area of Jenin, contributed to recruiting suicide
bombers and planned to perform a terror attack in the near future. The force
uncovered a big amount of weaponry in his apartment, including explosive
devices, an AK-47 assault rifle, ammunition and other military equipment.

This week, three riots took place in Ni'lin, west of Ramallah. Palestinians,
foreigners and Israeli civilians arrived at the scene, breaching a Closed
Military Zone, in an attempt to damage the Security Fence. The security
forces were obliged to respond with means of riot dispersal. During the riot
on Thursday (26.06.08), an IDF soldier and a Border Policeman were lightly
wounded by rocks hurled at them.

Ten road blocks were removed in the area of Ramallah this week. 100 road
blocks were removed thus far in the region of Judea, Samaria and the Jordan
Valley as part of the relief plan, authorized by the Minister of Defense and
the IDF Chief of Staff, and implemented in recent months.
