Jerusalem, 13 November, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Israel Defense Forces (IDF) arrested more than 55 wanted suspects during dozens of counterterrorism operations across Judea and Samaria over the past week, involving dozens of battalions and special units.
Those detained included Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives, suspected terrorists planning attacks, inciters, and a suspect accused of throwing firebombs.
Security forces also seized handguns, an airsoft weapon and additional weapons-related equipment.
Separately, forces operating in the Etzion Brigade area demolished monuments glorifying terrorism and associated with founders of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, as well as other terrorists. The demolitions followed established procedures and were part of efforts to combat incitement, the IDF said.
Security forces will continue conducting proactive counterterrorism operations throughout Judea and Samaria.
