The IDF killed six terrorists and arrested dozens of wanted individuals over the past two weeks in the northern West Bank, in what the military dubbed "Operation Five Stones," the military said in a Friday statement.

The operation was conducted by the IDF's Menashe and Samaria Brigades, in collaboration with the Shin Bet, Border Police, and the Air Force.

Forces also interrogated dozens of additional suspects, the IDF said. The wanted individuals, as well as all weapons uncovered during the operation, were transferred to the District Police and Shin Bet.

Funds, weapons, and explosives uncovered during the operation

Israeli troops also uncovered hundreds of thousands of shekels that were intended to finance terrorist activities. Weapons, including pistols, rifles, M-16s, knives, and ammunition, were also discovered in the village of Tammun by the IDF's Maglan Unit. Books inciting violence and supporting Hamas were found at the scene.
