On Friday, IDF troops thwarted an invasion by terrorists in the town of Adora in the Judean Hills northwest of Hebron.

One 34-year-old Israeli man was injured when the terrorists open fired after breaking through the fence.

Magen Dovid Adom reported that the man suffered leg injuries and was conscious when he was sent to a hospital for treatment.

A video camera shows terrorists infiltrating the town by crawling underneath the security fence.

The terrorists shot at IDF troops who were dispatched to the area and were carrying an M16 rifle, Molotov cocktails, an axe, knives and ammunition.

According to a statement, “IDF soldiers began a pursuit of the terrorists and extensive searches in the area. During the searches, three terrorists were identified and eliminated by the security forces.”

“The forces are continuing to scan the area,” it added.

This recent incident comes as unrest increases in Judea and Samaria with clashes between terrorists and IDF troops.

Since October 7th, 2, 600 terrorists have been arrested in Judea and Samaria and in the Jordan Valley.

Of these, 1,300 arrested terrorists are affiliated with Hamas.

The Israeli government is allocating an increase of $105 million for beefing up security in Judea and Samaria.

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said, “There are two million Nazis in Judea and Samaria, who hate us, exactly as do the Nazis of Hamas-ISIS in Gaza.”

This statement was in response to a poll showing that most Palestinians in that area support the actions of Hamas on October 7th, a massacre in the south of Israel that resulted in the deaths of 1,200 people and the capture of 240 hostages.

Smotrich called for the establishment of security zones to protect Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria from the threat of Palestinian terrorism.

In a letter, Smotrich called to “create wide security areas around settlements and roads, and prevent Arabs from approaching them.”
