During an anti-terrorism operation in the northern West Bank, soldiers from the Kfir Brigade discover a weapons cache in the Nur Shams refugee camp outside of Tulkarem, according to an IDF statement.
Several bags of weapons were discovered at the scene, one of which contained a vest labeled “UNRWA,” the IDF says.
Israel has long said that terrorists were using the UN agency as cover for their activities.
According to the statement, the confiscated weapons were transferred for further investigation by security forces.
The IDF states that it will continue its operations to thwart terrorism throughout the West Bank to ensure the safety of Israeli citizens.
