Over the weekend, Israeli security forces, including the IDF, Border Police, and Shin Bet, conducted extensive counter-terrorism operations across approximately 40 villages and 400 locations throughout Judea and Samaria. The operations focused on areas identified with Hamas and aimed to thwart terrorist activities. During the sweeps, security forces arrested around 40 suspects, including individuals linked to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) who are suspected of incitement, disturbances, and stone-throwing. In Hebron and Dhahiriya, forces apprehended about 20 suspects as part of broader counter-terrorism efforts. The Etzion Brigade's operation involved raids on over 70 sites in more than ten villages, leading to the arrest of suspects involved in planting explosives and advancing terrorist activities, including Hamas operatives. In the Samaria and Menashe brigades, forces destroyed memorials for terrorists involved in attacks that killed Israeli civilians. Two suspects linked to an attack on Israeli civilians in the village of Burin were arrested in Samaria, and a hunting rifle used by suspects was found in Silat al-Dhahr. In the Benjamin region, forces operated in about 15 villages, arresting Hamas-affiliated terrorists, operatives, and rioters. The Ephraim Brigade arrested several suspects, conducted dozens of interrogations, and searched for weapons. Security forces stated they will continue proactive operations to prevent the entrenchment of terrorism and neutralize threats to Israeli citizens.
