IDF soldiers, ISA (Israel Security Agency/Shin Bet) agents, police and border police during the night took part in counter-terrorism operations in PA (Palestinian Authority) areas throughout Yehuda, Shomron and the Jordan Valley, activities which take place on an almost daily basis.

Ten PA residents suspected of taking part in acts of terror, and/or violence and confrontations against security forces were taken into custody. An M16 assault rifle and ammunition were also confiscated.

The arrests and questioning of the suspects lead to additional arrests and questioning, which B’chasdei Hashem generally prevents terrorist attacks.
