IDF soldiers from Unit 636 neutralized a terror threat in the Samaria Regional Brigade’s jurisdiction near the area of Turmus Ayya. The soldiers identified three terrorists actively hurling large rocks at passing vehicles on a major highway, endangering the lives of innocent Israeli civilians.
Recognizing the immediate danger, the IDF force responded with precision fire. One of the terrorists was eliminated on the spot, while the other two sustained injuries during the engagement.
The targeted area, located within the Judea and Samaria region, has seen a sharp rise in violent attacks by local operatives affiliated with Iranian-backed terror networks. These attacks, often dismissed in international media as “protests” or “clashes,” are in fact coordinated attempts to murder civilians using rocks, Molotov cocktails, and firearms.
Unit 636, part of Israel’s elite field intelligence corps, specializes in surveillance and rapid engagement in complex environments. Their success in neutralizing this cell underscores the IDF’s commitment to proactive defense measures that protect Israeli lives and maintain regional stability.
This incident comes against the broader backdrop of Israel’s ongoing war against Iran’s axis of terror. From Gaza to Lebanon, Syria to Judea and Samaria, Iranian-funded groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, and Islamic Jihad continue their multi-front assault on the Jewish state. Israel’s defensive actions, like the one carried out near Turmus Ayya, are part of a just and necessary campaign to safeguard its citizens against a genocidal enemy that celebrates civilian murder.
As always, the IDF remains vigilant, and this operation sends a clear message: anyone who seeks to harm Israeli civilians will be met with swift and decisive action.
