The IDF has rushed five additional companies to reinforce forces in Judea and Samaria, following the terror attack this morning in the village of Tel near Nablus. The deployment, reported by Army Radio correspondents Moriah Asraf and Doron Kadosh, comes as the military continues its manhunt for the perpetrators and bolsters security across the region.
The attack, which occurred earlier today (Friday), prompted a series of command-level responses. At 10:41 Jerusalem, the IDF Chief of Staff, Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, conducted a situation assessment with Central Command and the Operations Directorate, ordering a broad reinforcement of forces and the capture of all terrorists involved. The victim was subsequently identified as Binyahu Mal't, son of Rabbi Boaz Mal't, according to Israeli media. The IDF has been on heightened alert in Judea and Samaria in recent days, as The Zioneer previously reported, with operations ongoing in Beit Furik and Tubas since Thursday.
The Zioneer reported earlier that the IDF raised its operational tempo in the region after twin terror attacks, including the severe attack near Tel. Central Command commander Maj. Gen. Avi Bluth had ordered immediate reinforcement and increased offensive pressure against terror hubs. Background context from The Zioneer's coverage shows three attacks in Judea and Samaria within 24 hours, and IDF forces have entered villages including Khuja, Birka, and Anabta in overnight operations.
The manhunt for the terrorists remains ongoing, and no claims of responsibility have been reported. The exact circumstances of the attack and the condition of any other injured individuals have not been fully detailed.
