Four illegal West Bank outposts, from which settlers carried out violent attacks on Palestinians, were demolished by Israeli forces over the past two days, the military says.

The IDF says that soldiers and Border Police officers evacuated the illegal outposts located near the Palestinian villages of Burqa, Wadi Rahim, and Jalud.

"Repeated acts of violence and illegal activity originated from these outposts," the military says.

Several vehicles, tents, and temporary structures, which the army says "lacked infrastructure and adequate living conditions," were removed by the forces.

During an operation overnight near Burqa, troops encountered "barricades made of burning tires, rocks and spikes" that had been placed by settlers, according to the military. "As a result, two vehicles used by security forces were damaged," the IDF says.

The IDF says the settlers also threw stones at the forces and carried out arson attacks in the village.

"The forces cleared the barricades and restored order in the area," the army says, adding that three Israeli civilians were detained and handed over to the police.

Police investigators later entered the village with IDF escort to collect findings for the investigation.

An Israeli civilian illegally crossed the border into Lebanon a short while ago, near the Rosh Hanikra Crossing, the military says.

The military says the man was located by United Nations forces near the border and handed over to IDF troops, who escorted him back to Israeli territory.

The man was then handed over to the police for further questioning. Crossing the border illegally is punishable by up to four years in jail.

The IDF says the incident is under further investigation.

Israeli security and military officials are conducting an official visit to Morocco as part of efforts to deepen defense ties between the nations.

The delegation is being led by Defense Ministry Director General Amir Baram and also includes representatives from the IDF.

The ministry says Baram met with senior Moroccan defense officials, including Minister Delegate in charge of the National Defense Administration, Abdellatif Loudiyi; Inspector General of the Royal Armed Forces, Mohammed Berrid; and other officials from the Royal Palace and the intelligence services.

The ministry says that since the renewal of diplomatic relations in 2020 and a memorandum of understanding signed in 2021, "security ties between Israel and Morocco have grown significantly, including throughout the three years of war."

"Israel's defense industries are highly regarded in Morocco," the ministry says, adding that most defense deals with Morocco are executed under government-to-government agreements.

Israeli defense firms are also "supporting the establishment of an independent Moroccan defense industry through joint ventures and offset agreements," the ministry says.

During the trip, Baram is set to inaugurate the permanent premises of Israel's defense attaché office in Rabat, headed by Col. Sharon Itach, who is Israel's first-ever military attaché to Morocco.

Since the 2020 renewal of diplomatic relations, the IDF has developed ties with the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces (FAR), including joint drills.

The ministry says Baram's visit to Morocco reflects its strategy to "deepen defense cooperation with friendly nations and expand defense exports to strengthen the IDF's force buildup, influence foreign policy, and bolster the Israeli defense industry and economy."

Ten Palestinians affiliated with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group, whom the military says were planning to carry out an attack on Israeli civilians, were captured during a raid in the West Bank early this morning.

The IDF says soldiers of the Paratroopers Brigade's Reconnaissance Unit and the Duvdevan Commando Unit, along with Border Police officers, raided the village of Arraba near Jenin, following intelligence provided by the Shin Bet security agency.

The troops simultaneously raided 10 different buildings in the village, locating all 10 wanted suspects within half an hour, according to the military.

The IDF says the suspects, linked to Islamic Jihad, had acted to "establish a terror network to carry out an attack against Israeli civilians" in the northern West Bank area.

The suspects were handed over to the Shin Bet and Israel Police for further questioning.
