Is the IDF at this late date really so naive? Did they actually think that the Palestinian Authority would work with them and be cooperative? Don’t they know, amid mountains of evidence, which side the PA is on?
“IDF Incensed After PA Releases Terrorist Who Murdered 2 Soldiers In Ramming Attack,” by Yehuda Dov, VINNews, June 3, 2024:
JERUSALEM (VINnews) — IDF officials were furious after the Palestinian Authority released the terrorist who murdered two IDF soldiers, Staff Sergeant Eliya Hilel and Staff Sergeant Diego Shvisha Harsaj, in a ramming attack in Shechem last week.
The IDF is currently conducting a manhunt for the terrorist.
The terrorist, a 40-year-old resident of Shechem, turned himself into the PA police a short time after the attack. Sources in the PA security apparatus said he claimed it was an accident and not a nationalist attack.
A Galei Tzahal report stated that the PA had held the terrorist for just over a day. At that time, the PA security apparatus offered the Shin Bet to create a joint investigation committee to investigate the incident while the terrorist remained in PA custody.
The Israelis refused the offer and made it clear that as far as they were concerned the incident was not an accident, but rather a terror attack, and the PA must turn the terrorist into them.
The PA security apparatus, fearing that the IDF would raid the PA police station in Shechem where the terrorist was being held, released him on Friday morning and he fled the area….

now that two faced biden is doing his best to eviscerate any Israeli victory, the PA feels emboldened to let such a jihadist go. Israel is between a rock and hard spot with the deep state of the US and Israel working hard to neuter Israel’s government the same way they’re devoted to neutering the US and other nations status.
Taffy says
Israel should raid the police station anyway and give the decision maker for then terrorist’s release a rifle butt to the face.
brenrod says
And Biden wants the PA to rule Gaza in place of hamas.
OLD GUY says
The PA and HAMAS are one in the same. Destroy them both and the world is a safer and better place.
