On Tuesday morning, forces from the Samaria Brigade and the Yahalom unit operated in the village of Beita, demolishing the homes of terrorists Zakaria Muhammad Abd Daoud and Ibrahim Abd al-Karim Abd Daoud. These individuals were involved in three explosive device attacks in 2024 and 2025, two of which resulted in injuries to security personnel.
