🚨 HAMAS CELL IN JUDEA AND SAMARIA ARRESTED OVER ATTACKS AND KIDNAPPING PLOT: Israeli security forces arrested ten members of a Hamas cell in the Beita area near Nablus in a joint operation by the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), police, and the IDF.
According to the investigation, the cell had carried out several explosive and shooting attacks against Israeli troops in Judea and Samaria between March and April 2025, wounding three soldiers, including two seriously.
The investigation found the cell was preparing additional major attacks, including a kidnapping of a Jewish resident.
One member dug a six-meter-deep tunnel inside his home intended to hold hostages, and the group had also conducted surveillance on a targeted individual before the plan was not carried out due to operational difficulties.
Security forces seized weapons from the suspects, including an assault rifle and explosive materials.
All ten have been indicted at the Samaria Military Court, and several face charges equivalent to attempted murder, attempted kidnapping, and involvement in terrorist activity.

Among the tasks he reportedly carried out were filming the Kirya military headquarters and attempting to secure an apartment nearby by sending photos of available listings and contacting landlords whose properties matched the request.
He was also instructed to spray graffiti on the home of Foreign Minister Gideon Saar reading, "We will take revenge in due time. The children of Ruhollah", referring to Ruhollah Khomeini, and to prepare a video documenting the minister’s movements.
He said he was unable to carry out the task due to school but would do so during the holidays.
In total, he received $1,170 for completing the assignments.
