Fear of Lone-Wolf Attacks: IDF Launches Extensive Operation

Forces operated in hundreds of locations, sealed a terrorist's home, and froze the entry of workers into settlements until Tuesday.
The IDF launched a large-scale operation in Judea and Samaria following concerns over copycat attacks after the shooting attack last Friday. During the night, over 130 wanted individuals were arrested in hundreds of locations, including Hamas operatives, inciters, and suspects planning immediate attacks. Forces mapped and sealed the homes of the two terrorists involved in the attack. The IDF fears the tension may spill over to the seam line, so it was decided to freeze the entry of workers into settlements until Tuesday. Meanwhile, forces from the Central Command, Border Police, Shin Bet, and police are cooperating closely to prevent nationalist crime and reduce escalation. The activity includes setting up barriers and roadblocks, aiming to prevent friction between populations and maintain security.
