Israel Police and Israel Security Agency (ISA or Shin Bet) forces raided the community of Adei Ad near Shilo on Sunday morning, for reasons which remain unclear.
According to a report from legal rights organization Honenu, forces raided no fewer than seven homes and arrested two residents.
Another police raid was carried out at dawn on Givat HaBladim near Kohav HaShahar; seven people were also arrested for unknown reasons.
Honenu is still working to determine why both raids were conducted.
Recently, the Israel Police has conducted a number of raids to crack down on "Jewish terrorism," after an arson attack at the Palestinian Arab village of Duma, which killed an infant and fatally wounded his father. No suspects have yet been identified in that attack.
Last Thursday, police raided the community of Geulat Zion near Shiloh, and took eight residents into custody for questioning. Among them, Honenu said, were a couple and their young child.
