IDF detains 7 Palestinian terror suspects across West Bank; some accused of planning imminent attacks

Troops from the IDF’s Duvdevan commando unit under the direction of the Shin Bet arrested five Palestinian terror suspects in a series of operations across the West Bank over the past two days, including one accused of planning an attack in the immediate future, the military says.

According to the IDF, the suspect was detained in Jenin.

In a separate raid in the village of Zeita, troops arrested a Hamas-affiliated suspect accused of “advancing terror activity.”

The IDF says three additional suspects were arrested in the Qalandiya and Al-Bireh areas, including one armed operative accused of incitement and another involved in assembling explosive devices.

Separately, undercover Border Police officers operating under Shin Bet direction arrested two additional Palestinian suspects overnight in Nablus who were also allegedly planning to carry out an attack imminently.

According to the IDF, the undercover forces surrounded the building where the suspects were hiding and negotiated their surrender before arresting them.

All of the suspects were transferred to security forces for further questioning, the military says.
