While the eyes of the security establishment are on the war in the Gaza Strip and the readiness for war against Hezbollah is gaining momentum - throughout Judea and Samaria the pressure is increasing.
The Central Command is preparing for a more complex scenario in IOS, and the effort to thwart terrorist nests in the area is increasing - led by the commander of the command, Major General Yehuda Fuchs.
"Iran and Hamas continue to pour money into IOS with the aim of financing the establishment of terrorist infrastructures and pushing to carry out attacks - this has not stopped for a moment. They were surprised by Israel's preparedness for security deterioration," explained a security source, adding: "And yet, despite the impressive successes, there is a great deal of tension stemming from the number of terrorists killed, the failure to transfer funds to the Palestinian Authority, and the halting of the income of Palestinian workers who work in the IOS and in Israel."
The Chief of Staff conducted a situation assessment in the Judea and Samaria Division, together with the Commander of the Central Command, Colonel Yehuda Fox and the Commander of the Judea and Samaria Division, Lieutenant Colonel Yaki Dolf January 7, 2024/IDF Spokesman

Therefore, this is what the security source claims: "Currently, the recommendation of senior officials in the IDF as presented to the political level is to put a limited number of workers to work to show them the horizon.
We must release pressure on them - there are warnings of terrorist attacks."
The main focus of the IDF forces in IOSH is on the refugee camps in Jenin, which is marked in the first place, in Tulkarm, which is marked in the second place, in Akbat Jaber in Jericho, and then the Nablus region and all the rest.
As mentioned, Since the beginning of the war, more than 2,700 wanted persons have been arrested by the Central Command, of which about 1,300 are Hamas operatives. More than 250 terrorists have been eliminated in operational activities. In addition, more than 45 airstrikes have been carried out, and more than 60 brigade operations have been carried out in the refugee camps and terrorist hotspots. Among them are six led by the Kafir Brigade.
