The Israeli military (IDF) has conducted over 500 searches of buildings and locations in Hebron as part of a military operation launched following a severe attack on Friday. However, the scope of the findings has not met the IDF's initial expectations. According to a report by Kan News, despite extensive searches, the total number of weapons seized so far consists of only one rifle and one pistol. The IDF had hoped to find additional weaponry during the searches, but the actual results are significantly less than anticipated. The military emphasizes that the operation's success should not be solely measured by the number of weapons confiscated. The activity also aimed to deter terrorism, expose terror infrastructure, and gather intelligence, with a military source stating that there may be further achievements not quantifiable by the amount of weaponry found. Beyond the search results, the duration of the operation is now a key question. The IDF estimates the operation could conclude as early as today, tomorrow, or within a few days. However, the final decision is not purely military. The Prime Minister and the Defense Minister set broad objectives for the operation, and its continuation now depends on the political echelon's decision. The question remains whether the operation will conclude according to the military's assessment or if the political leadership will order its extension.
