The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Friday that over 55 wanted individuals were apprehended during security forces' operations in Judea and Samaria over the past week. The forces, comprising dozens of battalions and special units, conducted targeted counter-terrorism operations in numerous villages.

According to the IDF, those arrested included operatives from Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), individuals suspected of planning attacks, those accused of incitement, and suspects involved in throwing firebombs. During the operations, pistols, airsoft guns, and other weaponry were confiscated.

In the Gush Etzion brigade area, forces demolished monuments that the IDF stated were used for incitement to terrorism. These monuments were reportedly associated with founders of Hamas and Islamic Jihad, as well as other terrorists. The IDF emphasized that the demolition followed a systematic process and was part of efforts to combat terrorism incitement.
