Israeli security forces, including the IDF and Border Police (Magav), are continuing a large-scale counter-terrorism operation in the Hebron area, under the command of the Judea Brigade. The operation was launched following a deadly encounter last Friday in which Sergeant Major Ron Yonatan Reitman and Sergeant Yuval Shai Suilam were killed, and three others were wounded.

During the overnight activity, elite Magav undercover units, guided by precise Shin Bet intelligence, apprehended six wanted individuals in various villages within the Judea Brigade's sector. Among those arrested are Hamas operatives suspected of direct involvement in terrorist activities, planning attacks, and advancing terror infrastructure in the region.

Concurrently, IDF soldiers conducted extensive searches in Hebron, confiscating numerous weapons. Seized items included an M16 rifle, knives, a combat vest, a replica pistol, and other weaponry believed to be intended for future terrorist operations. The operation, dubbed "Roar of Judea," also led to the discovery of an underground shaft near a terrorist's home.

Israeli security forces emphasize their commitment to proactively and offensively continuing operations throughout the Judea and Samaria Division to thwart terrorism and ensure resident safety.
