Two knife-wielding terrorists who tried to infiltrate the Samaria community of Elon Moreh Monday morning have been caught.
At about 8:45 a.m., the outlook position at Elon Moreh identified two Arabs approaching the fence surrounding the community.
The Elon Moreh Security Coordinator arrived at the scene and the Arabs ran away to the nearby village of Azmut.
The security
coordinator entered the village with a battalion-sized IDF force. The
two terrorists were caught. An initial inquiry showed that they are
residents of the Balata "refugee camp" and that they were armed with knives.
Samaria
Regional Authority Head Gershon Mesika congratulated the Samaria
Brigade Commander Col. Nimrod Aloni for the quick way in which the event was handled.
"The IDF outlooks' alertness and the alacrity of the IDF soldiers and the Elon Moreh Security
Coordinator prevented a terror attack," he said.
"The nation of Israel
thanks the IDF's soldiers.
It has been proven yet again that when the
IDF is allowed to act determinedly, it can defeat terror."
