The IDF Spokesperson released a video of the Duvdevan unit's overnight arrest of two wanted individuals who were manufacturing explosives intended to attack Israeli forces in the Binyamin Brigade area. A weapons dealer was also arrested. The suspects were transferred for further questioning.
The IDF Spokesperson's Unit released a video of the Duvdevan special forces unit's overnight operation in the Binyamin Brigade area, showing the arrest of two bomb makers and a weapons dealer. The footage, published at 11:11 Wednesday, provides visual documentation of the raid that was first reported earlier this morning.
The Zioneer first reported the arrests at 09:06 Wednesday, based on an IDF statement noting that the suspects were manufacturing explosives intended to attack Israeli forces and that a weapons dealer was also taken into custody. A still photo of the operation was released at the same time, and the video now adds further detail. The raid was conducted under Shin Bet intelligence guidance, as is standard.
The arrests are part of an ongoing Israeli counter-terror campaign in the West Bank. As The Zioneer reported on June 28, a Tanzim operative and weapons dealer were arrested in the Balata refugee camp in Nablus, foiling an imminent attack. On June 5, Duvdevan and Shin Bet arrested two Hamas operatives in Jenin and Al Yamoun who were promoting terror plots. In late June, Duvdevan and Shin Bet killed a major arms dealer in Al-Yamun (June 25). These operations highlight the continued focus on dismantling bomb-making and weapons networks.
The suspects have been transferred for further questioning. The specific targets or intended attack plots remain under investigation, and no further details have been released by the military.
