The Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) has detained two security personnel from the Samaria region for questioning, preventing them from meeting with their lawyers. The details of the arrests and the identities of the detainees are currently under a gag order. One of the arrested individuals comes from a bereaved family.

Attorney Nati Rom, representing the legal aid organization Honenu, has filed an urgent appeal to the District Court seeking to lift the restriction preventing the detainees from meeting with legal counsel. Rom stated, "The use of the Shin Bet's most draconian tools against our finest sons during wartime is inconceivable. These are tools meant for terrorists, yet they are being used against security personnel who have dedicated their best years to defending the state's security. Denying a meeting with a lawyer is reserved for only the most extreme and exceptional cases."
