Israel carried out an air strike against armed terrorists in the Tubas region of eastern Samaria on Monday, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

The military provided no further details regarding the incident.

The strike is one number of recent IDF counter-terrorism operations in Judea and Samaria.

Overnight Sunday, the IDF, Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) and Border Police apprehended about 10 wanted terrorists in a number of locations throughout Judea and Samaria.

In the Palestinian city of Dura in southeast Judea, Israeli security forces raided the house of the terrorist who carried out the attack at the Al Fawwar junction near Hebron on Saturday night, injuring four people. The terrorist turned himself in to Israeli forces.

Israeli forces interrogated several additional suspects in Dura, the IDF said in a statement.

Moreover, a battalion-level operation took place in Silwad northeast of Ramallah in the Binyamin region, in which IDF forces confiscated two guns and incendiary materials belonging to Hamas, interrogated dozens of terror suspects and arrested a wanted individual.

Dozens of terror suspects were also questioned in the Menashe region in Ya’bad in northwest Samaria, and two were arrested, the IDF added.

In a number of villages in the Ephraim, Etzion and Judea regions, eight wanted suspects were arrested without injury to Israeli forces, the statement concluded.

On Saturday, a Palestinian who launched a flare at security forces was shot and neutralized by a civilian guard at the Qalandiya crossing, according to Israeli media.

The terrorist was reportedly armed with a knife and wearing a shirt with an Islamic State patch.
