Israel Police said a joint operation with Shin Bet and the IDF exposed a significant terror infrastructure and led to more than 30 arrests in Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria. Five Jerusalem residents were indicted, including Shabab al-Aqsa members Sabih Abu Sabih and Rashid Rishk, whom investigators accuse of recruiting armed cells to attack Jews and security personnel. The release said suspects advanced attacks on a Modiin restaurant and security forces in Eizariya, while others provided explosives guidance. Weapons and combat equipment were seized; further indictments were expected against Judea and Samaria residents.
