IDF soldiers operated throughout Judea and Samaria last night (Wednesday), arresting 21 suspects, eliminating terrorists, and sealing offices and print shops supporting terrorists.
In the Nur a-Shams refugee camp in Tulkarm, forces arrested suspects and exposed bombs hidden under the roads meant to harm IDF forces. During operations, terrorists fired on and threw bombs at the IDF forces who fired back.
In the village of Arraba, bombs were thrown and fire aimed at IDF forces, who located an airsoft gun. In the village of Dahariya, a Carlo rifle was found and a lathe used for producing weapons was confiscated. In the Etzion Brigade area, IDF forces under the direction of the Shin Bet and IDF Intelligence sealed the offices of the Islamic Charity Association in the village of Beit Umar. These offices were tied to the Hamas terror organization and their money was used to employ and fund organization activists.
Print Shop Sealed After Printing Inciting Materials
A print shop in the village of al-Birah was sealed after printing Hamas-affiliated inciting materials. Bombs and gunfire were aimed at the IDF, who responded with live fire and crowd-dispersal means.
During activity in the Dahaishah refugee camp aimed at arresting suspects, blocks, paint bottles, and stones were thrown at the forces, who responded with live fire. Hits were identified. During arrests in the Kasbah of the city of Shchem, three suspects were arrested, as other threw bombs and stones at the forces. An armed suspect who was a threat to the forces was fired upon, and a hit was registered.
The arrested suspects were sent to be further interrogated by security forces. Our forces suffered no casualties. Some 2,200 suspects have been arrested in Judea and Samaria since the beginning of the war, about half of them affiliated with Hamas.
