The IDF reported Friday that its forces arrested about 50 terror suspects, including a terrorist cell, during the divisional counterterrorism effort in Judea and Samaria over Sukkot and Chol HaMoed. Battalion 931 and Maglan troops operating under the Samaria Brigade arrested wanted individuals, questioned suspects and seized weapons and equipment, including materials used to manufacture explosive devices. In nighttime operations in Balata and the Casbah in Nablus, six suspects, including a Hamas operative, were arrested. The IDF also said troops struck an individual who tried to throw an explosive device at them and confiscated fighting equipment, including several drones.
