This is Good News – IDF Working in Yehuda and Shomron

 IDF says 63 Hamas terror operatives among 80 terror suspects detained in West Bank


The IDF said on Thursday that security forces arrested some 63 Hamas operatives including Ramallah-based Hamas chief Hassan Yousef were among 80 terror suspects detained in overnight West Bank raids bringing the number of suspects in custody since the Hamas attack on October 7, to 524. 


IDF Special Forces began an intricate operation, surrounding the Nur Shams refugee camp in the Tulkarm Governorate, with the objective of arresting Hamas militants and destroying their infrastructure, including uncovering specific locations where the militants had planned to set off explosive charges.


[…] With cautious optimism, it's fair to say the West Bank faction of Hamas has not yet mobilized for a major attack on Israeli forces or civilians, despite the calls of Hamas stalwarts Yahya Sinwar and Mohammed Deif to enflame tensions as much as possible. Still, some violent clashes were noted along the way.

Why is this good news?


Remember back on October 12 Rabbi Weissman wrote this:


Yehuda and Shomron are nearly unmanned and there is an attack planned. The Arabs have gotten their women and children out by backroads avoiding many checkpoints. The Jews are caught unawares.  Please spread the word so they can prepare however possible to defend themselves.

It seems word got around and the IDF took charge of the situation.
