IDF Freezes Leave and Readies Broad Judea-Samaria Operation After Attack

The IDF froze leave and ordered a force buildup across Judea and Samaria on Friday as it prepared a broad operation following the deadly attack near the village of Tell. The military said the measures followed the attack earlier in the day and that overnight forces had detained suspects accused of incitement and terror activity and seized weapons. The planned activity is expected to focus on Nablus and the wider Samaria area, including arrests and questioning in friction zones. Separate reporting said two battalions and special units had already been sent to the area and the seam line.
