The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) conducted an operation in Judea and Samaria, targeting and demolishing memorials that glorify terrorists and their actions. The operation, which took place on the night of October 6-7 and the morning of October 7, 2026, saw soldiers enter Palestinian towns including Nablus and the Jenin area, where dozens of monuments were destroyed. This campaign was initiated following a detailed mapping effort led by Minister of Finance and Minister of Defense Bezalel Smotrich and Member of Knesset Tzvi Sukkot. The politicians gathered information on numerous illegal structures and demanded their removal.
During the raids, Israeli forces left messages for the local population at the sites. An official army statement declared, "Security forces will not allow incitement to terrorism or the glorification and praise of terrorists." Smotrich commented on the events, stating, "The State of Israel is blocking the infrastructure of incitement to terrorism and sending a clear message: there is no place for platforms supporting terrorism in the State of Israel."
The military emphasized that these actions are not isolated incidents but part of a systematic approach. Any attempts to erect new memorials or openly support radical groups will be met with arrests for incitement and subsequent demolition of the monuments.
