The arrests took place in the areas of the IDF’s Judea and Samaria Division, and those of the Beka’a and Emekim regional division.
Among the villages where the arrests took place were Kharbat Etof, Yatta, Bezaria, Evidia, Horsa, Tapuach, Telath, Habola and Beit Rima, as well as in Beit Fajar and Beit Ummar in Gush Etzion, Bidou and El Mo’air in the area of the Binyamin Brigade, the IDF said in a statement.
