The main focus was in the Judea Brigade sector, where forces operated in dozens of locations in Hebron and Halhul, arresting about 20 suspects. Concurrently, the Etzion Brigade conducted a brigade-wide operation in over ten villages, raiding more than 70 sites, arresting Hamas operatives, and individuals suspected of advancing terror activities and planting explosives.
