Over the last few months, IDF troops, together with the ISA and the Israel Police, have apprehended over 50 terrorists, all part of a large-scale terrorist cell based in Judea and Samaria. The terrorist cell was formed in order to carry out different terrorist attacks in Judea and Samaria and Jerusalem.

As part of the troops’ activities, soldiers from elite units, including the Duvdevan Unit, thwarted the threats and apprehended a large number of terrorists. The thwarted terrorist cell possessed many weapons and explosives, including explosives suitable for building a number of heavy explosive belts.

Unique intelligence and operational collaboration with the ISA and the Israel Police provided soldiers participating in the operation with digital intelligence and advanced capabilities.

The IDF, alongside the security forces, will continue to operate at all times in order to thwart all attempts to commit terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians.

The Chief of the General Staff, LTG Aviv Kohavi, in a meeting with commanders: “You carried out your mission well, you thwarted a large-scale terrorist cell. You made the people of Israel feel safe and secure".
