The IDF Spokesperson provided further details on the overnight operation in Judea and Samaria, reporting that among the 20 suspects arrested were individuals planning an attack, an arms dealer, and a smuggler of illegal residents, as well as suspects affiliated with Hamas. The operation included an airborne mission in the Jenin area, where more than 50 buildings were searched. In Hebron, five suspects were arrested after gunfire was heard from the city, and in Tulkarm, Border Police and IDF troops detained four Hamas-linked suspects and another suspect on incitement charges. These arrests are part of ongoing counter-terrorism efforts across the region, as The Zioneer reported earlier today.
The initial report at 17:03 Jerusalem noted the IDF had completed an airborne operation in Jenin and arrested 20 suspects. By 16:48 Jerusalem, the military had specified that the suspects included attack planners, an arms dealer, and a smuggler. The thread shows that the IDF's account has been consistent across multiple updates, with the same core details repeated and refined.
As The Zioneer reported on Fri Jul 3, 12:28 Jerusalem, the IDF's weekly operational summary highlighted the destruction of over one kilometer of underground terror tunnels in Gaza and the arrest of more than 60 terror suspects in Judea and Samaria, reflecting the broader scope of ongoing counter-terrorism operations.
No additional details have been provided regarding the identities of the arrested suspects or the specific nature of the planned attack. The IDF has not commented on any potential casualties or injuries during the operation.
