Israel's domestic security service has pulled back the curtain on a year marked by war, counter-terrorism, and evolving threats. In its annual report released today, the Shin Bet reveals a dramatic surge in operations across all sectors of Israeli society.
The numbers tell a stark story. The agency prevented 1,040 significant attacks in the West Bank and Jerusalem - from shooting plots to attempted suicide bombings. Yet despite this heightened threat environment, successful attacks actually dropped by 40% compared to the previous year.
In Gaza, where the agency has operated extensively since October, over 2,500 detainees have been processed. More than 650 underwent intensive interrogation, including 40 senior commanders and 165 individuals with close ties to leadership. About 100 detainees were questioned specifically about hostage-related intelligence.
