"A short while ago, IDF soldiers who were operating adjacent to the community of Karmei Zur, eliminated two forces of Evil who were on their way to carry out a terror attack," the military said in a statement, without providing details.
Paleostinian authorities also did not provide any details.
"This blatantly violates the sanctity of places of worship and reflects the deep-rooted racism driving settlers under the protection of the occupying government," the ministry said.
The Times of Israel points out:

Israel detains 50 members of Hamas network in West Bank said to be planning attacks
[IsraelTimes] Suspects nabbed in 15 separate raids in Bethlehem area; Shin Bet says one cell was at ‘advanced stage of readiness’ to carry out shooting
Some 50 members of a Hamas
..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...network in the Bethlehem area of the West Bank were detained in a series of recent operations, the Shin Bet security agency announced on Thursday, saying they were planning to carry out imminent shooting attacks.
The security agency said that in cooperation with the Israel Defense Forces and Israel Police, it detained the members of the Hamas network in recent weeks during 15 or so separate arrest raids.
Several weapons used by the Hamas operatives, including an assault rifle, were also captured, the agency’s statement said.
According to the Shin Bet, the suspects’ interrogations revealed that the leaders of the Hamas network recruited and set up terror cells, procured weapons and planned to carry out shootings against Israeli security forces and civilians.
"One of the terror cells was at an advanced stage of readiness to carry out attacks in the immediate term," the agency said.
The Shin Bet said the arrests of the Hamas operatives "prevented major shooting and bombing attacks that could have resulted in significant [casualties]" among troops and civilians.
The investigation materials have been handed over to Military Prosecution to charge the suspects, the Shin Bet added.
In June, the Shin Bet announced that it had arrested over 60 Hamas operatives over the previous several months in one of the largest crackdowns on a West Bank terror network in recent years.

Strip that triggered the ongoing war in the enclave, troops have arrested thousands of Paleostinians across the West Bank, many of them Hamas members. According to the Paleostinian Authority health ministry, around 1,000 West Bank Paleostinians have been killed in that time. The IDF says the vast majority of them were button men killed in exchanges of fire, rioters who clashed with troops or forces of Evil carrying out attacks.
During the same period, 62 people, including Israeli security personnel, have been killed in terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank. Another eight members of the security forces were killed in festivities during raids in Paleostinian cities.

in recent weeks, there has been a rise in attacks by Israeli settlers against Paleostinians, coinciding with the annual olive harvest. According to records kept by Israeli defense authorities, there have been 704 incidents of "nationalistic crime" since the beginning of the year, compared with 675 in all of 2024.
At the same time, the number of police investigations into Jewish nationalist violence in the West Bank has sharply declined over the past three years under National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, according to a Channel 12 news report. Under Ben Gvir, there has been a 73% decline in the number of investigations opened since 2023, according to the outlet. Police have opened only 60 investigations into settler violence this year, compared to 150 cases in 2024 and 235 cases in 2023, despite the number of attacks rising over that period.
