Amar Guad Shakhr Damara, a commander in Fatah’s Tanzim terror group, was arrested in a joint Shabak (General Security Service) and IDF operation in Shechem.
Damara received funding and instructions from Hizbullah, an indication that Fatah’s terror groups are actively cooperating with the Iranian-Hizbullah axis alongside Hamas.
Damara took command after the IDF killed Muhammad Amin Muhammad Ramaha on December 14, during an attempt to arrest him.
Dmara was involved in planning a suicide bombing to be carried out against Israeli civilians and directed several shooting attacks in the Shechem area.
IDF intelligence indicates that the Tanzim terror gang in Shechem operates under the directives of Hizbullah operatives in Gaza.
Islamic Jihad Man Killed
An IDF Special Forces unit shot and killed wanted terrorist Fadel Balawneh Dajya, from the Islamic Jihad in Tul Karem Thursday morning.
Dajya was the local commander of the terror group.
The elite unit surrounded Dajya’s home, intending to arrest him. Clashes ensued and Dajya was shot.
He was pronounced dead on site, after falling out the second-story window. Islamic Jihad sources were quoted by the Israeli press as claiming Dajya was thrown out the window by an IDF soldier. The IDF says Dajya fell out of the window after being shot.
