The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have reported the discovery of an additional 46 individuals suspected of engaging in terrorist activities on the West Bank, according to a statement released on the IDF’s Telegram channel.
Out of the 46 suspects, 27 are believed to be supporters of Hamas.
On October 7th, Hamas forces launched thousands of rockets into Israeli territory, declaring the start of the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation. Thousands of militants infiltrated Israeli territory, seizing dozens of military vehicles and over a hundred hostages. In response, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared a state of war.
The IDF’s counter-operation, named “Iron Swords,” aims to eliminate Hamas. The Israeli Air Force has conducted strikes on hundreds of Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip, while the Israeli National Security Council has ordered the cessation of water, food, goods, electricity, and fuel supplies to the region. On October 13th, Israel notified the United Nations that 1.1 million Palestinians must evacuate to the southern Gaza Strip within 24 hours in anticipation of a ground operation.
This news is accompanied by additional information.
Previously, Israel’s far-right Minister of National Security, Ben-Gvir, stated that only “hundreds of tons of explosives” should be sent to Gaza until civilian hostages are released, with no humanitarian aid provided.
