WATCH: IDF arrests two terrorists, raids 100 sites in Duvdevan West Bank counterterror operation
The military said that both terrorists were suspected by the Shin Bet of planning and promoting terrorist plots to harm the citizens of the State of Israel and the IDF.
In a recent operation, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) made arrests and conducted raids targeting suspected terrorists in the Duvdevan region of the West Bank. IDF soldiers detained two individuals, while undercover counterterror commandos, with assistance from the Shin Bet, conducted operations near Kabatiya, close to Jenin. The two suspects were allegedly involved in planning and promoting terrorist attacks against Israeli citizens and the IDF.
In addition to the arrests, IDF troops from the Menashe Regional Brigade carried out raids on nearly 100 sites. During these operations, further suspects were detained or subjected to interrogation. This counterterror effort comes a month after The Jerusalem Post reported that the IDF had increased its deployment across the West Bank to 26 battalions, a significant escalation following a surge in Palestinian terrorist attacks and settler violence.
The current deployment represents the number of battalions in the region, not the exact number of soldiers. The military forces are mobile and can be reassigned based on operational assessments and evolving security concerns. The extent to which this heightened deployment will persist throughout the summer and preceding the High Holy Days remains uncertain, as the military continues to evaluate the rapidly changing security landscape.
