Israeli security forces arrested more than 70 wanted Palestinian terror suspects during operations across Judea and Samaria over the weekend, according to a security report. The operation follows a Palestinian attack on Friday that killed two Israelis and wounded six others.
On Saturday evening, the IDF Spokesperson reported that more than 70 suspects had been arrested and hundreds more were questioned during overnight and morning operations. The military described the operations as part of ongoing counterterror efforts in the region.
The Friday attack, which targeted Israeli civilians, triggered a broad security response. Over the past week, Israeli forces have conducted numerous arrest raids and weapons seizures across Judea and Samaria, including large-scale operations in Nablus and Bethlehem. The intensity of the operations reflects the security establishment's focus on preventing further attacks.
