IDF soldiers, guided by the ISA, completed a 48-hour brigade-level counterterrorism operation in the area of Shechem (Nablus) and the surrounding areas.
As part of the operation, the soldiers dismantled more than 30 weapon production machines used for the production of weapons and confiscated concealed weapons, including firearms, handguns, and ammunition.
In addition, the soldiers searched hundreds of sites, questioned dozens of suspects, and apprehended more than 10 wanted individuals.
"IDF soldiers will continue to operate proactively and offensively to thwart terrorism throughout Judea and Samaria, in order to safeguard the security of residents in the area and Israeli civilians," the IDF stressed following the operation.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu commented, "I commend our forces on a successful operation in Samaria in which they destroyed dozens of lathes for weapons manufacturing, seized dozens of weapons, and arrested individuals wanted for involvement in terrorism."
"Our activity to thwart terrorism continues with full force in Judea and Samaria, Gaza, Lebanon, and every place where our enemies attempt to threaten the State of Israel."
