DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. July 27, 2016, 8:29 AM (IDT)
A special force of IDF counterterror troops carried out an operation in the village of Tzurif, north of Hebron, early Wednesday morning after receiving intelligence information on the location of members of the Hamas terror cell that killed Israeli Michael Marc on July 1. While the operation was underway, rioting broke out with Palestinians using stones, firebombs and gunfire against the troops. IDF and border police forces providing security for the operation returned fire and wounded a number of Palestinians. One of Mark's murderers was killed in the exchange of fire, and another member of the terror cell was arrested and taken in for questioning by the security forces.
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
