The Palestinian Prisoners' Club reports that Israeli forces arrested about 80 Palestinians across Judea and Samaria overnight, with more than 40 of the arrests in the village of Tel — the home village of the terrorists who carried out Friday's deadly shooting attack in Samaria, according to Abu Ali Express.
The Palestinian Prisoners' Club reported on Saturday morning that Israeli forces arrested approximately 80 Palestinians across Judea and Samaria overnight, with more than 40 of the arrests taking place in the village of Tel in Samaria. The club, a Palestinian advocacy organization, cited its own monitoring. The village of Tel has been the focus of Israeli security operations after it was identified as the home of the terrorists who carried out a deadly shooting attack in Samaria on Friday.
Earlier Saturday, The Zioneer reported that the IDF said six Palestinians had been arrested and 40 others questioned in Tel during the overnight operation, according to Israeli media. The discrepancy between the IDF's figures and the Palestinian Prisoners' Club's report could not be independently verified. The Zioneer reported on Friday that the IDF and Shin Bet arrested two of the shooting attackers in Shechem and eliminated four others at the scene.
The overnight sweep is part of a broader Israeli counterterrorism campaign in Judea and Samaria, which has seen hundreds of arrests in recent weeks. The IDF has not yet commented on the Palestinian Prisoners' Club's figures.
