In a significant operation, Israeli security forces conducted a raid on several workshops in Hebron, a city in the West Bank. These workshops were suspected of producing explosives. During the raid, authorities confiscated seven lathes, which are machines used to manufacture and repair weapon parts.
Two Palestinian men, aged 38 and 68, were arrested at the scene. They are currently under investigation. The police have also identified other suspects who are expected to be arrested soon.
Police Superintendent of Judea and Samaria, Moshe Finchi, stated, "Every night, our forces work tirelessly to arrest terrorist operatives and confiscate weapons. This operation is part of our relentless fight against terror, in collaboration with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet, to ensure the safety of Israeli citizens."
Since the attacks on October 7, Israeli security forces have arrested over 5,250 wanted Palestinians in the regions of Judea and Samaria. Approximately 40% of these individuals are associated with Hamas. The police have not specified if the current suspects are linked to Palestinian terror groups or organized crime.
