West Bank - April 19, 2024

In a recent development, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Israel Security Agency (ISA) have successfully concluded an operation in the Nur al-Shams area of the Menashe Division. This operation, conducted overnight, was carried out under the guidance of the Intelligence Directorate and the Shin Bet.

According to reports from the IDF, elite units such as Haruv, Duvdevan, Lotar, and Yamas Special Forces were deployed during the operation. Their mission primarily focused on neutralizing threats in the region. As a result, 14 operatives were reportedly eliminated, and an additional 15 individuals who were wanted by security forces were apprehended.

During the operation, security forces seized a significant amount of illicit funds believed to be associated with terrorist activities. Furthermore, the discovery and destruction of two bomb-making laboratories are said to have disrupted the manufacturing capabilities of organizations operating in the area.

However, the operation was not without its challenges. Nine IDF soldiers and Border Police officers sustained injuries ranging from minor to moderate. They were promptly evacuated for medical treatment, with their families being informed of their condition.
