Israeli forces have detained two Palestinians who infiltrated into southern Israel from the Gaza Strip, the Israel Defense Forces announced on Sunday.

A grenade and two knives were found on the suspects, the military said in a statement.

Meanwhile, the IDF together with the Israel Security Agency and Border Police arrested 13 suspects and confiscated a number of illegal weapons during counter-terror operations in Judea and Samaria on Sunday night, according to the military.

Raids and arrests occurred in Jenin, Nablus, Ramallah, and in the towns of ad-Dhahiriya, Rashida and Iskaka, said the IDF.

“Administrations come and go,” Rabbi Yeruchim Silber, of Agudah, told JNS. “What’s to say a future administration or future Health & Hospitals won’t say, ‘We’ll do it differently?’”
“For years, UNRWA schools have incited violence against Israel, UNRWA employees actively participated in the Oct. 7 massacre and throughout the war, terrorists carried out attacks against Israelis from UNRWA facilities,” the Israeli envoy told JNS.
The U.S. president said that Mosss “has been tremendous as deputy staff secretary and, before that, as policy director to the vice president.”
Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir placed the headquarters of an additional active-duty division on heightened readiness and ordered units and battalions prepared for immediate activation in the sector.
