Israeli security forces conducted a renewed enforcement operation against illegal construction elements built within a designated closed military zone near the Palestinian village of Salfit. These structures had been used as a base for repeated violent and illegal activities, according to the IDF spokesperson.
During the operation, Israeli settlers reportedly set tires ablaze and erected roadblocks on main roads in the area, attempting to obstruct the security forces. This action led to the closure of major roads and arteries throughout the morning, disrupting daily life for residents and citizens, and causing significant traffic congestion.
Security forces eventually cleared the roadblocks and completed the enforcement action. Throughout the operation, dozens of individuals behaved aggressively, both physically and verbally, towards the security forces, despite the forces' efforts to avoid physical confrontation.
In total, 18 suspects were arrested for assaulting and interfering with security forces. Several vehicles were seized; one contained incendiary materials, assault tools, and pepper spray. The arrested individuals were transferred for investigation in the Judea and Samaria (Shai) district.
