Fourteen terror suspects were apprehended during counter-terror raids in Judea and Samaria overnight Wednesday, as part of the IDF’s “Operation Breakwater,” launched in March following a wave of deadly terror attacks in Israeli cities.
One of the suspects is believed to have been involved in the shooting on an Israeli bus on Aug. 20, Channel 12 reported.
