A group of Givati fighters stopped a terror attack in progress Monday evening near the Jewish community of Einav, in the catchment area of the IDF’s Menashe Territorial Brigade.

During a routine IDF operation near a military post, “the fighters spotted three terrorists who were hurling Molotov cocktails (firebombs) at the soldiers,” the military said in a statement.
