The IDF announced the results of its weekly counter-terror operations in Judea and Samaria, reporting the arrest of more than 200 wanted individuals, including Hamas operatives and suspects planning imminent attacks. Security forces seized tens of thousands of shekels intended for terrorism, along with weapons, a drone, and five explosive devices. The homes of the two terrorists who carried out the attack last weekend were mapped, and one was sealed ahead of demolition.
The IDF announced Friday afternoon that it had sealed the home of the terrorist who carried out the attack last weekend, as part of the weekly summary of counter-terror operations in Judea and Samaria published at 15:18 Jerusalem time. The military reported that over 200 wanted individuals were arrested during the week, including Hamas operatives and suspects planning imminent attacks, and that tens of thousands of shekels in terror funds, weapons, and five explosive devices were seized.
The sealing of the home was initially reported by The Zioneer earlier in the day as part of the IDF's first operational summary, which noted that the homes of two terrorists involved in the attack had been mapped and one was sealed. Subsequent updates from the IDF provided further details on the scale of the sweep, including the destruction of the five explosive devices and the seizure of a drone, Airsoft weapons, and hunting rifles. The thread—published at 15:18 Jerusalem—showed a consistent picture of the operation's scope, with the sealing confirmed across all versions.
The operation is part of a sustained IDF campaign to dismantle terror infrastructure in Judea and Samaria. As The Zioneer has reported in previous weeks, security forces have conducted large-scale raids, arresting hundreds of suspects and seizing weapons and funds intended for terrorism. This week's sweep continues those efforts, with the IDF emphasizing the prevention of imminent attacks and the disruption of terror financing.
The second home involved in the attack remains mapped, pending further action, according to the IDF. No additional details were provided on the timing of a potential demolition.
