The Israeli security forces carried out extensive counter-terrorism operations this weekend in about 400 places in 40 areas in the West Bank, and arrested about 40 suspects, including Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists. About 20 suspects were arrested in Hebron and Halhol, while forces searched more than 70 places in 10 areas in the Etzion sector. Additional operations in Samaria, Menashe, Binyamin and Ephraim targeted terrorists, weapons and explosives. The forces also arrested 2 suspects linked to the attack near Burin and recovered a shotgun near Silat al-Dhar. Israeli forces also destroyed monuments in memory of Arab terrorists, including a monument in Burin (video attached) in honor of Hamdan Anjar, responsible for killing Israeli citizen Yaakov Pereg and IDF soldier Arthur Herstig in 1988. In addition, the IDF announced temporary restrictions on the entry of Arab workers into Israeli settlements in the West Bank and the Jordan Valley from Sunday to Monday, with exceptions for approved industrial zones and designated areas. On Tuesday, October 27, Israel's election day, the authorities will force a complete closure of land crossings and suspend the entry and exit of Arab workers throughout the West Bank and Jordan Valley, including industrial areas, after a security assessment.
