The IDF assesses that Iran is accelerating efforts to rebuild terror infrastructure in Judea and Samaria, leveraging the regional ceasefire to shift resources from Lebanon, according to a senior security official. Tehran is directing operatives via Turkey, using cryptocurrency financing, and smuggling weapons. The official cautioned that any single incident could trigger a wider flare-up.
The IDF has identified an acceleration of Iranian efforts to rebuild terror networks in Judea and Samaria, taking advantage of the relative quiet following the regional ceasefire, a senior security official told Israeli media on Thursday.
According to the official, Tehran is redirecting resources from the Lebanese front — which has largely quieted — into Judea and Samaria. The operational model involves directing operatives based in Turkey, funding them via cryptocurrency, and smuggling weapons across borders. The assessment warns that the current lull is fragile, and that a single localized incident could spiral into a broader confrontation.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Thursday (09:42 Jerusalem), Israeli security officials have been tracking the Iranian shift for weeks. The current warning, published by several Hebrew-language outlets, adds operational detail to that assessment. The IDF has reportedly reinforced troops in the area in response.
The official did not specify whether the networks are affiliated with Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, or independent Iranian-linked cells. The assessment remains classified in parts, but the public warning signals the military's growing concern over a front that has seen fewer headlines than Lebanon or Gaza during the current escalation.
