Israeli soldiers from the Ari Battalion of the Home Front Command's Rescue Brigade neutralized two terrorists who attempted an attack in the Judea region. The terrorists were found to be carrying a large quantity of ammunition in their vehicle, indicating the potential for a more severe attack. The soldiers were on alert and monitoring movement at checkpoints as part of a "Dawn Readiness" operation. The terrorists, realizing their planned route to Routes 35 and 60 was blocked, changed their target to a military checkpoint. They exited their vehicle and took positions near the soldiers' post. A 20-minute firefight ensued until reinforcements arrived, surrounding and eliminating the two assailants. The operation prevented a significant attack and resulted in two critically injured individuals who were treated under fire by Magen David Adom and transported to hospitals. The terrorists were armed with an M16 rifle and a pistol. The Ari Battalion, established in the past year based on lessons learned from the recent war and the need for increased combat forces, is the fifth battalion of the Rescue Brigade. This was the battalion's first operational deployment after several months of training. The battalion had previously been deployed for a rescue mission in the northern sector and assisted in Haifa following a complex destruction event.
