The IDF launched a large-scale brigade operation to thwart West Bank terrorism in the Menashe Brigade, alongside searches for the suspects who carried out the attack at the Ramot Junction on Monday morning, the military said.
On Sunday night, the IDF and Border Police operated deep inside the villages in the Marj Sanur Valley area, as well as the Fara'a refugee camp and Kabatiya in the West Bank, aimed at dismantling terrorist activity in the area, the IDF added.
Initial Palestinian reports indicated that one of the two terrorists who carried out the attack was Muthna Omar, 20, whose father was arrested in a recent IDF operation.
Israeli media reported that the other terrorist was named as Muhammed Taha, who, along with Muthna Omar, was a resident of a Palestinian village in the Ramallah area.
According to Walla, one of the terrorists involved was arrested and investigated by the police and subsequently released three months ago.
Reservists from the elite Duvdevan Unit, following intelligence received from the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), arrested a terrorist on Sunday night who had planned terror plots.
Security forces confiscate terror funds and weapons
Security forces located and confiscated terror funds worth tens of thousands of shekels, along with weapons, the military said.
According to the IDF, security forces are continuing to operate in the West Bank, specifically in the Ramallah area and encircling villages.
This is a developing story.
