Israeli forces from the Gideon Unit of Lahav 433 apprehended a senior operative of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad organization in Bethlehem earlier this week. The suspect, a 48-year-old taxi driver, was reportedly involved in rehabilitating the organization's infrastructure in the area, planning external operations, and transferring terror funds. The operation was led by the Etzion Regional Brigade in cooperation with the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency).
Special forces and a tactical unit quickly surrounded the suspect, detaining him within seconds. He was then transferred to the Shin Bet for further interrogation.
