Israeli police and the Shin Bet security agency arrested ten suspects in a large-scale operation in the Benjamin region on Monday morning. The operation, codenamed "Olive Branch," was launched in response to serious violent incidents that occurred over the weekend, including the assault of a female journalist and the suspected attack on foreign diplomats near the village of Taybeh.
The extensive police operation involved numerous officers from various units, including the Judea and Samaria District Police, the Shin Bet, Border Police, and IDF forces. During the raids on multiple locations, forces apprehended suspects, seized evidence linking them to the alleged crimes, and confiscated vehicles. The operation followed an intensive investigation by the central unit of the Judea and Samaria District Police since the weekend's events, which included gathering evidence, collecting testimonies, and identifying those involved.
In addition to the violent incidents, the operation also targeted individuals suspected of violating a military order prohibiting entry into a closed military zone and engaging in illegal construction. Air support was provided by the "Rakia" unit.
The arrested suspects were transferred for interrogation by the central unit of the Judea and Samaria District Police and local police stations. Authorities stated that further proceedings would be determined based on the investigation's findings.
Commander Pinchy of the Judea and Samaria District Police emphasized that the arrests are part of an ongoing investigation into the weekend's violent events. Police Commissioner Dany Levy affirmed the police's commitment to enforcing the law equally, regardless of the suspects' identities, stating that the law in Judea and Samaria applies to everyone. Levy also distinguished between the security forces' role in preventing violence and the police's duty to investigate incidents after they occur, pledging continued cooperation among security agencies to uphold security and the rule of law.
