In a wide-ranging operation overnight Tuesday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) demolished dozens of memorials dedicated to terrorists across the West Bank. The operation, termed "Operation Governance," targeted several villages and cities, including a central memorial in Nablus. The IDF also destroyed a memorial for Yasser al-Hamdouni in Ya'bad, southwest of Jenin.
The operation followed an assessment conducted by Minister of Finance Bezalel Smotrich and Member of Knesset Tzvi Sukkot, who identified numerous memorials slated for demolition. The IDF left a message for residents explaining the purpose of the demolitions and the policy against commemorating terrorists, stating, "Terrorist incitement or glorification of terrorists will not be permitted."
The message further elaborated that security forces would not allow incitement to terror or the glorification of terrorists, warning that anyone who glorifies or supports terror would be arrested for incitement, and any memorial honoring terrorists would be destroyed. It drew a parallel to Hamas's destructive impact on Gaza.
Smotrich and Sukkot stated that Israel is dismantling the infrastructure of incitement to terror, asserting, "There is no place for platforms supporting terror in the State of Israel." They emphasized that terror begins with incitement in public spaces and that a change is now occurring on the ground, thanking the forces for their crucial action.
