Nahal Charedi soldiers play key role in elimination of three terrorists in Jenin

Soldiers from Nachal Charedi (not these guys) played a key role in the liquidation of three terrorists in Jenin in the wee hours of the Sabbath morning. You can watch video from inside one of the soldiers' helmet cameras here. This is from the first link.

The unit was instrumental in surrounding the house where Hamza Abu Alheja, 20, a member of the Hamas military wing, was hiding. An Islamic Jihad terrorist and a Palestinian Arab civilian from the Palestinian Authority were also killed in the clashes, which erupted after Jenin residents rioted at IDF soldiers; two SWAT members were injured during the operation. 

Netzach Yehuda oversees a large swath of Palestinian Authority-controlled territory, including the Jenin area. This is not the first time the hareidi unit has been instrumental in a crucial IDF raid. 

The Nahal Haredi Foundation noted that last year the battalion was responsible for nearly 300 arrests in Jenin and Tulkarm, and helped wound 14 terrorists rioting against IDF soldiers - the highest record in the infantry and paratroop battalions.

 Tell that to the next person who tells you that there are no Haredim in the IDF.
