The IDF dismantled more than 30 weapons-production machines in the Nablus area during a two-day counterterrorism operation, according to the military.
The operation was conducted with guidance from the Shin Bet, Israel’s internal security agency. Forces also confiscated concealed weapons, questioned suspects and arrested more than 10 wanted individuals.
The military action came after a separate weapons-smuggling attempt was thwarted last month. The IDF and Border Police’s Jordan Border Unit arrested two residents of Jericho, both in their 20s, near Gesher Adam, also known as the Damiyah Bridge, north of the Dead Sea.
During a search of the area, police found 10 handguns buried in a bag near the bridge. The suspects were taken to the Judea and Samaria District police headquarters for further questioning.
