Israeli security forces apprehended five Palestinian minors, all around 15 years old, in the West Bank on suspicion of establishing and belonging to a terrorist militia named "Sayir Battalions." The group, from the village of Sayir, is accused of recent illegal military activities including throwing firebombs and rocks at Israeli vehicles and roads, setting brush fires near settlements, and tearing down Israeli flags. The suspects are currently under investigation, and authorities are expected to seek their extended detention.
In a separate incident, a search in the village of Beit Ula, based on intelligence, led to the arrest of a local resident in his 60s. During the search of his property, a significant cache of weapons and related items was discovered and seized, including two handguns, dozens of 9mm bullets, fireworks, and tens of thousands of shekels in cash. This individual was also taken for questioning.
Additionally, a suspect was arrested for breaching several checkpoints near Gush Junction over the weekend while driving a stolen vehicle from Kiryat Malachi. The suspect reportedly rammed police vehicles, drove over spike strips, and attempted to run over officers before fleeing on foot. The individual was later located and apprehended at the Tarqumiya crossing and is scheduled for a court appearance to extend his detention.
