Overnight between Monday and Tuesday, soldiers from the IDF’s Kfir Brigade, together with Shin Bet operatives, raided a building in Tulkarm and uncovered an explosives laboratory. Inside, they found belly-charge and thrown explosive devices, a welding machine, and explosive materials. The lab was dismantled on site, and the forces continued their mission as part of the broader effort to dismantle terror infrastructure in northern Samaria.
Mission: Prevent the Next Attack
At the same time, fighters from the IDF’s Commando and Nahal Brigades, along with reservists and Shin Bet agents, operated in the villages of Qabatiya and Tamun, arresting 12 wanted individuals. Elsewhere across Judea and Samaria, 15 additional suspects were detained, and two weapons were confiscated. All detainees and seized items were transferred to the Shin Bet and police for further investigation.
The security establishment noted that operations will continue in the coming days, wherever intelligence points to planned attacks. The IDF and Shin Bet emphasized:
“We will continue to operate wherever there is a threat—to ensure the safety of Israel’s citizens.”
