Israeli security forces thwarted a planned terror attack against Israeli civilians near Hebron on Tuesday evening. Police and IDF soldiers arrested a resident of Yatta, in his 50s, who had expressed his intention to carry out an attack. The arrest followed a police report that initiated an investigation and led to the suspect's apprehension.

This incident is the latest in a series of foiled attacks. Two weeks prior, the IDF stopped an attack planned by four Islamic Jihad operatives in the northern Samaria region, based on intelligence from the Shin Bet. Earlier this month, an attempted vehicular ramming attack in the Hebron area resulted in one attacker killed and two wounded.

According to police, officers from the Hebron station, in coordination with IDF forces from the Yehuda Brigade, launched an investigation upon receiving information about the suspect's statements. The suspect was transferred for interrogation on suspicion of threatening to carry out an attack and endangering regional security. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities have not yet released details regarding the intended target or the means the suspect planned to use.

Police stated they will continue to cooperate with security agencies to identify, arrest, and prosecute individuals who threaten or incite terror activities.
