Israeli media commented late Monday on the resistance operation that took place earlier in the day in the Jordan Valley, leaving one illegal Israeli settler dead and others injured, saying what happened was exactly what the occupation's security and military establishments were fearing.

Reportedly, the occupation's security and military establishments were dreading Palestinians carrying out operation after operation with the Israeli occupation forces being unable to deter them.

Occupation reserve general and former Mossad chief Danny Yatom said the operation showed that "Israel has lost its deterrence."

"The fact that Palestinians carry out operations in broad daylight, where there are many people, and then succeed in escaping, indicates that painstaking work must be done to restore deterrence," he said.

Meanwhile, Israeli Channel 13 military affairs correspondent Or Helle said the Palestinians' success in Huwara "encourages other gunmen to go out in various areas with weapons, and we are talking here specifically about Areeha."

An illegal Israeli settler was killed after he was shot during a resistance operation in the Jordan Valley, an Al Mayadeen correspondent reported on Monday, noting that the Palestinian who carried out that operation has so far carried out five similar ones in the same area.

Israeli media had admitted Monday that two shooting operations were carried out concurrently in Areeha, leading to numerous injuries, several of which are critical.

Israeli media reported that the man who carried out the operation was able to escape the scene without being detained, adding that the Israeli occupation forces were on a manhunt for him.

"The army shut down several roads in the Jordan Valley in a bid to get those who carried out the operations," the Israeli Channel 11 reported. "The second operation near Areeha led to four injuries, some of which are critical" amid concerns about further operations in the area.

Israeli media reported Sunday that two settlers were killed with an M-16 rifle in a shooting operation near the town of Huwara, Nablus, in the occupied West Bank.

Israeli Channel 12 reported that the one behind the operation rammed the car of the two Israelis, then got out of his car, shot them then left the scene. The channel indicated that the Israeli occupation forces went to the area and are now looking for him.

Following the incident, Yoav Gallant, the occupation's Minister of Security, stated, "We will soon conduct an assessment of the situation and take decisions regarding the Aqaba summit."

The head of the settlement council in the northern West Bank described the process that took place in Huwara as "difficult".

In the same context, the head of the regional council, Yossi Dagan, called on the government to turn the tables on the Palestinian Authority and launch a military operation.
