For the second straight day, IDF counter-terrorist forces discovered an explosives factory Sunday afternoon in the casbah (enclosed open-air market) of the Palestinian Authority city of Shechem, a major terrorist stronghold.



Forces found five pipe bombs, one large bomb, four bags of fertilizer (used for producing explosives), two pipe bombs and a missile.



Soldiers are continuing operations in the city, prompted by a similar find on Saturday. The stated objective of the army is to eliminate terrorist threats that have constantly emanated from the PA city.
