The IDF will reinforce the Judea and Samaria Division with six companies that will operate during the holidays and Hol Hamoed as part of preparations for the holiday period, the military announced on Friday.
IDF troops apprehended approximately 85 terror suspects, and several weapons were confiscated throughout several brigade-level overnight operations across the West Bank in the past week.
IDF soldiers operated in Balata and Tubas, where they detained dozens of suspects.
Security forces demolished the home In Deir Ibzi of the terrorist that carried out a shooting attack next to the Talmon-Dolev Junction in the West Bank, in which Sgt.-Maj. Ilay David Garfinkel was killed, and seven others were wounded in March of last year.
The military killed the terrorist after soldiers, along with a helicopter and a drone, pursued him and engaged in a firefight for several hours.
