IDF troops operated in the villages of Danaba and Akhtaba in Samaria and arrested two suspects.

During the operation in the city of Shechem (Nablus), about 100 rioters attacked the forces with Molotov cocktails and rocks. The troops responded with crowd-dispersing means. The soldiers arrested a suspect who threw a Molotov cocktail at the forces.

In Khirbet Karama, a suspect involved in terrorist activity was arrested and a number of weapons were located and seized.

IDF troops operating in the village of Tamun in the Jordan Valley arrested two suspects.

A total of nine suspects were arrested across Judea and Samaria during the night. The suspects were transferred for further investigation by the security forces.

The arrests were made as part of Operation Wave Breaker, Israel’s counterterrorism operation following several deadly terror attacks that the country experienced in the past couple of months.
