The IDF says 31 suspects have been arrested in the West Bank overnight, following a wave of deadly attacks in Israel.
The arrest operation — dubbed “Breakwater” — targeted individuals suspected of planning future attacks, as well as some thought to be tied to Tuesday’s deadly attack in Bnei Brak, perpetrated by a Palestinian from a village near Jenin.
Among the detainees is a Palestinian from Hebron suspected of affiliation with Islamic State, the military says.
Following the recent deadly terrorist attacks in Israel, IDF soldiers apprehended a total of 31 terrorist suspects overnight, including a suspected ISIS operative.
