Prevention of a vehicle-ramming attack in the Etzion sector

According to a report by Hadashot MehaSadeh on Telegram, known for its critical stance toward Hamas and the Jihad, forces from the Nachshon Battalion (90) thwarted a vehicle-ramming attack attempt last night in the Etzion Brigade area. The operation was based on prior intelligence regarding a terrorist, a resident of Hebron, who was on his way to carry out his plan. According to the channel, the fighters carried out a proactive blocking of the suspicious vehicle and arrested the terrorist before he could harm civilians or security forces. The IDF clarified that they will continue to act with determination to "thwart terror and maintain the safety of the residents."

In the domestic Israeli arena, the Zirat HaHadashot channel published footage of an unusual enforcement operation at Ben Gurion Airport. According to the report, a force operating in a civilian vehicle carried out the arrest of a yeshiva student who is defined as a deserter from the IDF. The arrest included the switching of license plates to "M.T." (Military Police) plates during the operation. The incident is drawing interest in light of the covert method of operation documented in the original footage.
