It's time to ask Shin Bet some questions
"We will reach the kidnappers within hours or days," a senior IDF officer estimated Tuesday. The investigation is making progress, but the end of the operation is not near yet. There are still many questions.
The IDF echelon believes that the operation will go on for a long time, because even if the abductors and abductees are found, the IDF is using the opportunity for wide-scale activities against terror. The Ramadan, which begins in 10 days, isn't considered a red line either.
The defense establishment is still ruling out the possibility that the kidnapped teens were smuggled to Gaza or elsewhere. The offensive operation carried out in Nablus was not part of the investigation efforts, but an opportunity to damage terror infrastructures.
Nablus is not affiliated with Hamas but rather with Fatah, and the activity there did not result in any impressive achievements. A Nahal Brigade raid, backed by another regiment, yielded a small number of weapons: A few grenades and a lathe.
