The Shin Bet's Tequila team, established under the directive of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, has been intensifying operations against nationalist crime in Judea and Samaria. According to a report by journalist Yinon Yetch, the team has conducted 70 operations since the beginning of the year, with dozens of incidents prevented at the last moment. Among the detainees are individuals described as 'ticking bombs' — suspects who posed an immediate threat. The update follows an earlier report (The Zioneer, 20:56) that highlighted the arrest of a specific 'ticking bomb' suspect and the broader prevention of attacks. The operations reflect the Shin Bet's heightened focus on preventing lone-wolf attacks and organized nationalist crime in the region. The report is based on a single source, a journalist's account, and the information is attributed accordingly.
