On March 19, IDF forces, along with the General Security Service (Shin Bet) and Border Police (MAGAV) officers, arrested nine suspected terrorists in Judea and Samaria. The detainees were handed over to Shin Bet investigators for questioning.
The operations took place in Nablus (in Balata), Hebron, and Al-Masara, resulting in the confiscation of weapons. Clashes and armed attacks occurred, but there were no casualties among the Israeli military personnel.
Since October 7, 2023, over 3,500 suspected terrorists have been detained in the Palestinian Authority, with more than 1,500 of them linked to the terrorist organization Hamas.
