Hundreds of IDF soldiers conduct largest W. Bank counterterror operation in several months
The IDF, in coordination with the IAF and Shin Bet, conducted the largest operation in the West Bank in several months against terror activity
The IDF conducted the most extensive counterterror operation in the West Bank in several months with hundreds of troops participating and sustained and unusually broad air support, the military said Wednesday.
The Border Police, the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), and the IDF’s Duvdevan special forces and Kfir Brigade initiated the counterterrorism operation in Tulkarm, Jenin, and other areas in response to the attempted suicide bombing attack in Tel Aviv on August 18 and a recent spike in Palestinian terror.
There are suspicions that the attempted suicide bombing was staged from the Tulkarm area.
Typically, raids in the West Bank involve dozens or fewer soldiers operating in any one village at a time.
The last time The Jerusalem Post was aware of a brigade-size operation in the West Bank was July 2023 when thousands of forces descended on Jenin to rout a growing insurrection in the area.
