The forces have now begun to scan all the infrastructure in the area in a focused and thorough manner to locate and neutralize terrorist infrastructure and weapons, and to interrogate dozens of suspects.
The operation is focused and limited to the area from which the terrorists operated and will last for several days.
Starting from the beginning of the operation, the residents who live in the area of activity of the forces will be able to leave the area through three designated points after investigation and inspection.
