The IDF, Border Police, and the Shin Bet carried out a major expansion of Operation Iron Wall over the weekend, conducting simultaneous counterterror operations in 15 villages across the northern West Bank, the military says.
According to the IDF, approximately 10 battalions were deployed, arresting 13 wanted suspects and uncovering weapons caches, including M-16 rifles, improvised arms, and 10 pipe bombs. Troops also discovered a lathe used for producing weapons.
The raids focused on areas in the Jenin region, as well as villages in the area surrounding Nablus, where forces searched over 1,200 buildings and interrogated dozens of suspects.
The IDF says the operation is part of ongoing efforts to dismantle terror infrastructure and ensure the safety of Israeli citizens.
