Israeli forces are operating in the village of Tel to map the homes of the two terrorists who carried out Friday's deadly shooting attack in Samaria. During the night, suspects were arrested and dozens interrogated, as part of a broader thwarting operation across Judea and Samaria, according to Israeli military sources.
IDF mapping the homes of the two terrorists who carried out Friday's deadly shooting attack in Samaria, as part of an ongoing operation in the village of Tel. According to an Israeli military source, troops are mapping the house of the terrorist who snatched a weapon from a soldier and the house of the terrorist who fired the shots. The mapping follows overnight arrests and interrogations in the village, as the IDF continues its broader thwarting campaign across Judea and Samaria.
At 07:59 Jerusalem, The Zioneer first reported that IDF forces had raided the home of Farouk Ramadan, the alleged shooter, and begun mapping it. Simultaneously, reports from N13 and Army Radio cited six arrests and more than 40 individuals questioned in Tel. Shortly thereafter, the Palestinian Prisoners' Club, cited by Abu Ali Express, reported that Israeli forces had arrested approximately 80 Palestinians overnight, with over 40 from Tel alone — the highest arrest figure in the village. The source of the numbers shifted from military-affiliated reports to an official Palestinian prisoner organization.
As The Zioneer reported on Friday (Jul 24, 18:10 Jerusalem), Central Command chief Maj. Gen. Avi Bluth vowed a major thwarting operation following the attack, in which an Israeli civilian was killed. The operation in Tel is part of that broader campaign, which has included raids, searches, and arrests in multiple cities across Judea and Samaria, as previously reported.
It remains unclear how many of the arrested suspects are directly linked to the attack, and whether the house mapping will lead to immediate demolition or further intelligence gathering. The IDF has not specified the timeline for any potential home demolitions.
