Israeli forces conducted a significant counter-terrorism operation overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday in Nablus, simultaneously demolishing numerous memorials dedicated to terrorists. The operation, occurring exactly three years after the October 7th massacre, involved special forces and regional brigade troops. Palestinian reports indicate that Israeli forces also raided locations across the West Bank and East Jerusalem, carrying out arrests, searches, and detentions. In Nablus, forces entered from multiple directions, raiding homes and making arrests, which led to the closure of all businesses in the city. Reports also mention activity in the village of Awarta, south of Nablus.
Concurrently, the IDF began demolishing the home of terrorist Kadri Samara in the town of Biddu, northwest of Jerusalem. Samara, 37, was apprehended approximately two and a half weeks prior at a hospital in Ramallah after fatally shooting Natanel Shicron near the Ein Ri'a spring close to the settlement of Neve Tzuf in the Benjamin region. The terrorist was captured by Duvdevan unit soldiers after being wounded during a pursuit. Shin Bet received intelligence that Samara was hiding in the hospital, and Duvdevan fighters apprehended him in his bed, with images of the capture circulating on Palestinian social media. The Chief of Staff had ordered the sealing and demolition of his home on the day of his capture. During the operation in Biddu, the house was surrounded and local residents were evacuated.
