The explosion, which occurred during Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year), did not cause any injuries.

The spokesperson reported additional activities across Judea and Samaria involving the IDF, Border Police, Shabak (Israel Security Agency), and Israel Police. During these activities, 23 wanted terrorists were arrested, on suspicion of involvement in terror activities, "lone wolf" terror attacks, and violent disruptions of order aimed at civilians and security forces.

The arrested suspects were transferred for interrogation.
