Shin Bet Spokesperson: 💎

Shin Bet thwarted a terror cell operating in Samaria, run by elements in Lebanon. The cell was instructed to film a settlement in Samaria and conducted shooting drills in preparation for carrying out an attack.

Last October, Muhammad Sidqa, a resident of the village of Anza in Samaria, was arrested for investigation by Shin Bet after being suspected of intending to carry out an attack. During his interrogation, it was revealed that Sidqa traveled to Lebanon, where he was recruited by Musa Abu Saif, known as "Jibril," an operative in a terror cell, for the purpose of carrying out activities in the West Bank and recruiting military squads in the area.

After returning from Lebanon to the West Bank via Jordan, Sidqa recruited additional operatives to carry out attacks, including Muhammad Khalil, a resident of Ramallah, and Muhammad Barahma, a resident of Anza, who were also arrested for Shin Bet investigation.

It also emerged during his interrogation that until his arrest, Sidqa maintained contact with the cell in Lebanon through communications on social networks and a gaming app.

Simultaneously, another squad operated by the same Lebanese cell was uncovered, and two residents of the village of Tal in Samaria, in their 20s, Dia al-Din Hamad and Nizar Atida, were arrested for Shin Bet investigation.

Their investigation revealed the recruitment process by a Lebanese terror operative named Mujahid, who was assisted by several other Lebanese individuals calling themselves "Abu Ahmad" and "Abu Wahid," who managed the communication, including correspondence on social networks. As part of their recruitment, the two underwent shooting training to prepare for an attack, were instructed to film a settlement in Samaria, and agreed to transfer funds for purchasing weapons.

Intelligence and investigations revealed that at the head of the cell recruiting the two squads to promote terror activities against the State of Israel stands Mujahid Dahsha, a Lebanese resident with connections to Hamas and Hezbollah operatives.

Indictments have been filed against the five operatives residing in the West Bank.

The General Security Service will continue to act to thwart any attempt to promote terror activities against the State of Israel, its residents, and citizens.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu departed for Washington a short time ago. It will be his seventh visit to the United States since US President Donald Trump began his second term.

The trip will focus on Gaza, regional developments, and, above all, US-Iran negotiations.

Netanyahu told reporters before boarding with Wing of Zion:

“I will present to the president our perspectives on the key principles in the negotiations—principles that, in my view, are important not only for Israel but for anyone in the world who seeks peace and security in the Middle East.”

A short while ago, dozens of Arab infiltrators entered the country's territory in the Atarot area.
In exclusive footage obtained by Channel 14 News, the Arab infiltrators are seen making obscene gestures towards a concerned Israeli citizen who filmed them and said: "There is neither army nor police here - imagine if they were armed."

Joint statement from the IDF Spokesperson and the Shin Bet Spokesperson: 🥇💎

In response to the blatant violation of the agreement in East Rafah: The IDF eliminated a terrorist involved in terror attacks against IDF forces during the war

In response to the blatant violation of the agreement this week (Monday), the IDF eliminated the terrorist Ahmad Hassan, who took part in numerous terror attacks against IDF forces in the northern Gaza Strip. Hassan served as the head of the sniper unit of the Beit Hanoun Battalion in the Hamas terror organization and was recently identified as working to promote additional terror attacks against IDF forces.

The terrorist led the terror attack in which Staff Sergeant (res.) Binyamin Assulin, Sergeant Noam Aharon Masgadi, Sergeant Meir Shimon Amar, Corporal Moshe Nissim Peresh, and Sergeant Moshe Shmuel Nol were killed, and two other fighters were seriously injured, on July 7, 2025.

Additionally, the terrorist took part in promoting the terror attack in which Staff Sergeant Galeb Suleiman Nassar was killed, and a scout, a combat officer, and a combat medic were seriously injured on April 19, 2025, as well as in another terror attack in which Staff Sergeant (res.) Asaf Kafri was killed, and two other fighters were seriously injured on April 24, 2025.

The elimination of the terrorist represents an important closing of the circle. The IDF will continue to act against any attempt by terror organizations in the Gaza Strip to carry out terror attacks against IDF forces and the State of Israel.
