Israel Defense Forces (IDF) carried out a series of raids across Judea and Samaria targeting what it described as false organizations posing as charities that were channeling funds to Hamas, as part of a broader counterterrorism effort.

During the operation, forces entered the Arab village of Idhna near Hebron, where five suspects were arrested and 100,000 shekels were confiscated.

The funds were assessed to have been designated for terror-related activity.

Among the entities identified was the “Islamic Charitable Society in Hebron, one of the largest and most recognizable in Judea and Samaria and is responsible fro funding Hamas.

The activity formed part of a wider campaign over the past week, during which more than 70 wanted individuals were detained.

Those arrested included operatives affiliated with Hamas and Islamic Jihad, along with inciters and individuals involved in stone-throwing attacks.

In separate operations, forces moved against multiple terror cells in the Binyamin Brigade sector.

Two suspects were taken into custody for throwing rocks at Route 443, while three others were arrested for launching Molotov cocktails toward the community of Beit El.

In another incident, troops apprehended a suspect linked to a shooting attack originating from the village of al-Ram, where weapons were located during a search of his residence.

Elsewhere, in the Menashe Brigade sector, troops conducted coordinated raids across nine villages at once. The operation included searches of dozens of structures and sites tied to terrorist activity, resulting in arrests of suspects accused of smuggling illegal infiltrators into Israeli territory.

Separately, in northern Gaza on Friday, IDF troops identified two terrorists who crossed the yellow line and advanced toward their position, posing an immediate threat.

The military said the individuals were eliminated following their identification, describing the incident as a violation of the ceasefire by Hamas.
