IDF forces operating in Shechem and environs yesterday discovered two explosives laboratories, including one of the biggest ever found in Yesha. The latter was found inside the home of Mahmoud Titi, a senior Tanzim terrorist who was killed in an IDF operation two weeks ago. Found in the laboratory were chemicals, 12 gas balloon bombs, hundreds of pipe bombs, an antitank charge, and considerable amounts of explosive materials. A wanted terrorist disguised as a woman was arrested by the security forces during the raid. A second explosives lab was found inside a local restaurant, and troops found there an explosive belt ready for detonation along with other explosives, mortar shells, and detonation switches. IDF engineering squads destroyed both labs.
