Jerusalem, 28 June, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Last night, police officers, in cooperation with the Shin Bet (Israel’s anti-terror General Security Service) and under the leadership of the IDF’s (Israel Defense Forces) Samaria Brigade, operated to arrest a Tanzim terror operative in the Balata refugee camp.
According to intelligence information received, the suspect, who serves as an arms dealer, planned to carry out an attack against security forces and civilians in the immediate timeframe.
The police called him a “sensitive target” who previously escaped several arrest attempts.
After an indication was received that the suspect had returned home, the forces prepared for a targeted operation, raided the building, carried out a rapid takeover, and arrested the suspect.
