IDF Expands Counterterrorism Operation in Samaria

Operation Iron Wall

For over 12 days, the IDF, Shin Bet, and Border Police have been conducting Operation Iron Wall, a large-scale counterterrorism campaign targeting terrorist networks in northern Samaria. Early this morning, the operation was expanded to the village of Tamun in the Menashe Brigade sector, as Israeli forces work to root out threats in the region. So far, over 35 terrorists have been eliminated, and more than 100 wanted individuals have been arrested. A preemptive air strike earlier this week successfully neutralized 15 terrorists before they could carry out planned attacks against Israeli civilians and security forces.

Israeli forces have uncovered hundreds of explosive devices meant to target IDF troops and innocent civilians. In addition, dozens of weapons have been seized, and key terror infrastructure—including buildings used as command centers—has been destroyed. Explosions from controlled demolitions have been heard across the region. This mission echoes the biblical mandate to protect the innocent and defend the land from those who seek destruction. As Psalms 144:1 declares: “Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle.” Israel seeks peace, but will not hesitate to confront evil and take decisive action against those who wage war against its people.

As part of the ongoing security efforts, forces from the Judea and Samaria Division, Civil Administration, Shin Bet, Israel Prison Service, and Border Police have worked together to disperse riots and block “celebratory gatherings” following the release of Palestinian prisoners. Israeli security officials have made it clear that such public support for terrorist groups will not be tolerated.

Following a high-level security meeting, the IDF issued a stern warning to the Palestinian side: “We will show zero tolerance for disturbances and expressions of support for Hamas. Any provocation will be met with an immediate and decisive response.”

 

Israel’s Commitment to Victory

Operation Iron Wall is not merely a military operation—it is a declaration that Israel will never allow its enemies to gain strength. As the IDF continues its relentless mission to secure peace and stability, the nation stands united, ready to ensure the safety of its people and uphold God’s promise to protect the land of Israel.
