The Israeli military (Tsahal) began implementing temporary checkpoints in several West Bank cities on Monday evening, ahead of the Israeli legislative elections. These measures are intended to de-escalate tensions in areas deemed sensitive. Additional forces have also been stationed along the security barrier due to concerns about potential infiltrations and attacks. The army plans to enhance security at popular hiking sites, anticipating visitor numbers during the public holiday.
Security operations, including arrests, were conducted in the Qalqilya, Jenin, and Nablus areas. Security forces also carried out on-site interrogations and issued warnings to individuals accused of incitement. These actions occurred despite Palestinian vehicles being set ablaze in the Binyamin region overnight, even with security forces present. The military stated it is increasing coordination with the police, border police, and the Shin Bet to ensure a swift response to any incidents.
