  • Operation prevented an imminent attack.

Israeli special forces, guided by the Shin Bet security agency, apprehended a terrorist planning an imminent shooting attack in the West Bank town of Bitunia on Thursday. The operation, carried out by the Duvdevan Unit, resulted in the arrest of Ismail Anqawi, the primary suspect, along with another wanted individual.

The raid followed an intensive week-long manhunt. Anqawi was reportedly captured just moments before he could carry out the planned attack. The Duvdevan Unit is known for its undercover operations and has been involved in numerous counter-terrorism efforts in the West Bank.

Details regarding the specific target of the planned attack or the exact timeline were not immediately released. The Shin Bet has been actively working to thwart terror threats, and this operation is seen as a significant success in preventing an attack that could have resulted in casualties. Further details are expected as the investigation continues.
