IDF SPOKESPERSON'S ANNOUNCEMENT

This morning, approximately 450 Palestinian Authority personnel arrived at
Jenin and north Samaria. The deployment was made after a number of
coordinated meetings of different levels between IDF personnel and the Civil
Administration with the Palestinians.

It is important to emphasize that the IDF did not pass the security
responsibility in Jenin to the Palestinian Policemen, and will continue
their coordination with the Palestinian Policemen in Jenin.
