Soldier killed, 16 injured by roadside bombs during operation in West Bank’s Jenin

[IsraelTimes] Army bulldozers didn’t detect large explosives buried deep under road in northern West Bank; most damage caused when 2nd bomb exploded as troops came to assist
An Israeli soldier was killed and several others were maimed by roadside kabooms in the northern West Bank’s Jenin refugee camp early on Thursday, the military said.
The slain soldier was named as Cpt. Alon Sacgiu, 22, a sniper team commander in the Kfir Brigade’s Haruv reconnaissance unit, from Hadera.
The Israel Defense Forces had been carrying out an overnight raid in Jenin aimed at arresting or killing members of a Hamas

terror network in the city and adjacent refugee camp. It was part of a long series of counter-terrorism operations in the area, military sources said.
According to an initial IDF probe, a Panther armored personnel carrier (APC) used by a medical force was hit by a bomb planted under a road in Jenin during the operation, at around midnight between Wednesday and Thursday.
The blast slightly hurt the soldiers inside the APC. As additional forces reached the scene and worked to evacuate the maimed soldiers, another bomb went kaboom! , leading to the death of Sacgiu and the injury of additional troops.

Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
terror group grabbed credit for the attack.
In all, 16 soldiers were maimed by the bombs — one seriously, five moderately, and the rest lightly.
The slain soldier and the more seriously maimed were all outside of their armored vehicle when the second bomb went off, according to the IDF’s initial probe. The APC was largely able to protect the soldiers inside from the initial attack, with only minor injuries from the blast and smoke inhalation.
Before the APC drove along the road where the attack took place, a military D9 bulldozer and backhoe had scraped the road to uncover any potential improvised bombs (IEDs).
Armed groups in Jenin frequently plant IEDs under roads to attack Israeli forces carrying out arrest raids, and as such, the military rips up the roads with armored bulldozers before entering with lighter-armed vehicles.
Still, the two large IEDs were not discovered by the bulldozer and backhoe, and the military believes that they were planted much deeper in the ground than usual — around a meter and a half (5 feet) below ground. Normally, such explosives are buried a few dozen centimeters (one or two feet) under roads.
The IDF was probing how the bombs were activated, either by wire or wirelessly. Findings at the scene indicated that both methods could have been used, an initial probe found.
The military was also investigating how to detect such IEDs better and how to extract maimed soldiers from such incidents in a safer manner.
Tensions have been high in the West Bank amid the war in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
Strip, which began on October 7 when thousands of Hamas forces of Evil attacked southern Israel under a barrage of rockets fired at population centers all over the country. They brutally killed 1,200 people, amid instances of torture and rape, and seized 251 hostages.
Since October 7, troops have arrested some 4,150 wanted Paleostinians across the West Bank, including more than 1,750 affiliated with Hamas.
According to the Paleostinian Authority health ministry, more than 540 West Bank Paleostinians have been killed in that time. The IDF says the vast majority of them were button men killed amid raids or forces of Evil carrying out attacks.
During the same period, 21 Israelis, including security personnel, have been killed in Paleostinian terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank. Another four members of the security forces were killed in festivities with terror operatives in the West Bank, including in Thursday’s incident.
