The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) conducted a large-scale counter-terrorism operation in the Judea Brigade sector, focusing on Hebron and surrounding villages. The operation targeted over 300 sites in a short period, prompted by a rise in attacks in the region, according to the IDF's press service. A key action involved dismantling a structure operating under the guise of a charity fund, which was located within a local school and officially collected donations for the needy. Investigations revealed that the organization's leadership was channeling funds to Hamas and other radical groups. Security forces seized documents, intelligence equipment, and arrested network activists.
The operation escalated into a major brigade raid, with the Sayeret Rimon special forces unit securing eighty designated locations overnight. The IDF confiscated dozens of firearms, including M16 rifles, shotguns, pistols, and ammunition, as well as a drone and propaganda materials. Tens of thousands of shekels intended for funding new attacks were also seized.
IDF officers emphasized that precise intelligence gathering preceded each operation, with detailed plans and personnel training conducted beforehand. The military blocked the movement of militants using illegal vehicles and cars without proper documentation, which are frequently used for attacks. Battalion command noted the soldiers' high discipline, which prevented casualties in the dense urban environment. Commanders on the ground stated that the army's consistent presence limits the ability of terrorists to operate freely in the area.
The IDF has revised its operational instructions and tactics, prioritizing continuous territorial control and preemptive arrests. The army intends to continue targeted raids in all Judean settlements to neutralize the militants' underground infrastructure.
