IDF troops and Judea and Samaria Border Police, directed by the Shin Bet, carried out an overnight brigade operation in Qabalan, Osarin, Aqraba and Yitma. In Aqraba, the IDF said a terrorist threw a Molotov cocktail and improvised explosive at arriving troops, then was killed by Nahal Reconnaissance soldiers while holding a knife he intended to use against them; no Israeli forces were wounded. Forces arrested four wanted men, including three arms traffickers and a suspect planning an imminent attack. They questioned about 60 wanted persons across 70 locations and found ammunition, a launcher and other military equipment.
