The IDF's Ephraim Brigade has arrested approximately 30 wanted suspects on suspicion of involvement in smuggling illegal residents and assisting infiltrations, the military said Tuesday morning. The arrests mark the conclusion of the large-scale night operation that The Zioneer reported earlier today, in which the brigade launched a targeted raid in the seam zone. The operation is part of a broader strategic shift by the Ephraim Brigade over the past year, which has included the establishment of a dedicated intelligence cell for the seam zone and the 'Panther' battalion, as previously reported. The suspects were transferred to security forces for questioning.
