Israeli commandos arrested two Hamas terrorists in Nablus (Shechem), Samaria, on Tuesday during complex undercover raids, the Israeli military said.
Duvdevan Unit troops, acting on Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) intelligence, apprehended the suspects separately in the Balata camp and in Masaqin Sha’abiya, as part of a coordinated effort in the Samaria Regional Brigade area.

A Palestinian terror suspect was killed by Israeli security forces near Nablus during an arrest raid in early September.
The suspect attempted to escape during the raid in the village of Tammun, according to the Israel Defense Forces. Border Police fired at him and “a hit was confirmed,” it added.
Palestinian terrorists targeted Israeli Jews in Judea and Samaria at least 6,343 times in 2024, according to figures published by the Rescuers Without Borders (Hatzalah Judea and Samaria) NGO on Feb. 17.
Figures released by Hatzalah of Judea and Samaria, which were cross-checked against official data from Israeli security services, included 179 terror shootings.
Twenty-seven Israelis were murdered in Judea and Samaria in 2024, and more than 300 others were wounded, the group said in its annual report.
