Over the past week, security forces have conducted dozens of offensive counter-terrorism operations across Judea and Samaria, arresting more than 70 wanted individuals. These arrests include those identified with the Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terror organizations, as well as inciters against the State of Israel and IDF forces.
