Israeli police, in coordination with the Shin Bet, border police, and the IDF, arrested ten suspects early Monday morning in Judea and Samaria. The operation, codenamed "Olive Leaf," targeted individuals involved in violent incidents over the weekend, including the assault of a journalist and alleged violence against foreign diplomats near the village of Taybeh in the Binyamin region. These incidents prompted an investigation by the Judea and Samaria district's central unit. Dozens of police and soldiers, supported by the "Rakia" aerial unit, conducted searches at various locations, apprehending the ten suspects and seizing evidence potentially linking them to the violence. Several vehicles were also confiscated. The operation also aimed to apprehend individuals suspected of violating military orders, such as entering prohibited zones, and those involved in illegal construction. The arrested individuals were transferred for questioning, with their potential court appearance contingent on the investigation's findings. "Since these incidents, we have been working to gather evidence, material elements, and testimonies to build a case that will bring those responsible to justice," stated District Commander Deputy Commissioner Pinchi. Israeli Police Chief Danny Levy emphasized the impartial application of the law, stating, "The law in Judea and Samaria applies to everyone, regardless of their identity or affiliation." He also highlighted the distinction between violence prevention and post-incident investigations, assuring continued cooperation with security services to identify and prosecute offenders.
