The Israeli military has uncovered a mosque that was serving as a base of operation for Islamic terrorists in the Judea and Samaria town of Jenin.
The supposed house of worship was “fortified” with gunmen and contained an underground tunnel. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) also found a weapons cache hidden underneath the mosque, Israeli media reported Tuesday.
The mosque, which was linked to the Iran-backed Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorist group, was discovered as part of an ongoing counterterrorism operation. Over 1,000 IDF troops conducted sweeping raids in Jenin, searching for wanted terrorists and destroying weapons facilities.
“The Israel Defense Forces on Tuesday accused Palestinian gunmen in the West Bank city of Jenin of turning a mosque into a ‘fortified’ hideout, complete with an underground tunnel and a cache of weapons,” the Times of Israel reported on July 4. “The IDF’s operation has focused on a local wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group known as the Jenin Battalion” along with other terrorist outfits, the news outlet added.
In recent years, Palestinian Authority-controlled Jenin has emerged as a major jihad cesspool. The town is a recruiting and training ground for terrorists, who regularly carry out attacks against Israeli civilians.

Israeli forces on Tuesday revealed details about an underground terrorist route that was uncovered in a mosque, during an ongoing counterterror operation in the West Bank city of Jenin.
“During the anti-terrorist activity in the Jenin refugee camp, the fighters of the Yahalom unit, Egoz and Oketz, and under the direction of the Shin Bet, investigated and neutralized an underground terrorist route in the city’s Al Ansari mosque,” a joint statement said.
“During the night and after an activity by the fighters of the Egoz unit and Yahalom, on the basis of accurate intelligence information from the Shin Bet, to confiscate ammunition and neutralize the shafts in the Al Ansari mosque in the refugee camp, the fighters of the Yalam unit investigated the route of the mosque using advanced technological tools,” it added.
According to the commander of the Egoz unit, the excavations carried out in the mosque “turned it into a fortified target.”

Awkward Daily Reminder to the muslim Palestinians.
“And WE said unto the Children of Israel after him:DWELL IN THE LAND.But when the promise of the hereafter cometh to pass.We shall bring you a crowd gathered out of various nations”
koran 17:104
I hate to break it to the Palestinians but their god allah is OK and accepts that the JEWS have the right to DWELL IN THE LAND of Israel.
After all{koran 5:21}allah says he gave Israel ..to the Jews
“Go into the Land which allah hath ORDAINED for you”
Maybe,if the palestinians wanted peace,they might be so good as to respect allah and stop terrorizing Israelis and accept that allah is OK with Jews being in Israel.
allah SUPPORTS THE RIGHT OF THE JEWS TO DWELL IN THEIR LAND,THE LAND OF ISRAEL
allah says {koran 45:16 “We gave the children of Israel the TORAH and the COMMANDS and the prophethood”};funny how he missed all those ‘commands’ isn’t it?I mean he does INSIST he gave Moses the TORAH{koran 2:87}You would think the muslims might respect the Religious Jews for that.

Hopefully the IDF neutralized this den of terrorist garbage.

Mohammed’s mosque in Medina acted as a storage place for arms.
“Every mosque is modelled on Mohammed’s first mosque in Medina”,
explains ex-muslim Sam Solomon, former professor of Islamic law. Several mosques in Europe and the UK, like the Finsbury Park mosque, have been found by police to be storing firearms.
“Mosque means the place of war, the place of fighting. Out of the mosques wars should proceed. The Prophet had sword to kill people.”

Islam is only religion where religious place are grounds for sheltering terrorists and weapons are stored in their religious place. Their religious leaders promote voilence. Reason is KORAN.
OLD GUY says
Islam is only storing weapons in their mosques for the domination of the world by islamic leaders. It’s in the Quran so therefore it is ok. After all they are the best of people and the non-islamic followers are alive for their pleasure.
