The IDF and Shin Bet report a significant decrease in terrorist attacks in the West Bank during Ramadan, with an 80% drop compared to last year, according to a joint statement.

Security forces arrested 401 wanted suspects, eliminated 13 terrorists and seized 105 weapons during Ramadan this year as part of ongoing counterterrorism operations, the statement details.

According to the statement, last Ramadan saw 27 major attacks originating from the West Bank, while this year, only three occurred, attributed to intensified security efforts.

The IDF and the Shin Bet say that they will continue operations to prevent further threats and ensure the safety of Israeli citizens.
