Israeli security forces arrested 24 wanted individuals overnight Monday during counterterrorism operations across Judea and Samaria, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

Among those detained were three suspects from Jenin accused of transferring funds to terrorist organizations.

During the operations, troops located and confiscated three handguns, an M-16 rifle and tens of thousands of shekels. In a separate operation in Aqabat Jabr, Israeli forces apprehended a suspect and seized an Uzi submachine gun.

Israeli forces have been carrying out near-nightly raids in Judea and Samaria in response to heightened terrorist activity in the area.
