Hundreds of Border Police officers, along with Jerusalem District undercover units, IDF soldiers from the Binyamin Brigade, and Jerusalem municipality officials, are conducting a large-scale enforcement operation in the village of Kfar Aqab, north of Jerusalem. The objective is to reinforce governance along the seam zone and boost security in the area, police said.
Israeli security forces launched a large-scale enforcement operation in the village of Kfar Aqab, located north of Jerusalem just inside the seam zone (the separation barrier area), on Monday afternoon. According to a Channel 12 report, the operation involves hundreds of Border Police (Magav) officers, Jerusalem District undercover police units (Yasam, Taf'a), IDF soldiers from the Binyamin Brigade, and municipal inspectors from the Jerusalem municipality.
The police stated that the operation aims to strengthen governance along the seam zone, reinforce the security barrier, and increase the sense of security among residents in the area. No specific targets, arrests, or seizures were immediately reported.
This follows a smaller-scale operation in the same village earlier on Monday morning, as The Zioneer reported at 07:59 Jerusalem. The earlier operation was reported by Arabic affairs journalist Yossi Eliezer without details on scope or objectives. The current deployment involves significantly larger forces and is described as a broad enforcement sweep, suggesting an escalation in Israeli presence along the seam zone north of Jerusalem.
