During the raid, Israeli forces seized weapons in the area where the suspects were captured, including firearms and grenades. Lt. Col. (res.) M., a battalion commander in the 474th Brigade, said, “We had another successful night of operations.
“We arrested an Iranian terror cell based on intelligence we received. We will not allow terrorist elements to entrench themselves in the area. We’ll operate day and night to prevent their presence. In addition to the suspects, we seized weapons and explosives.”
The operation involved Unit 504, which recruits and runs agents in enemy territory to provide real-time intelligence for operational purposes. According to IDF figures released in late 2024, the unit has conducted thousands of interrogations since the war began.
