As part of an ongoing IDF operation in the West Bank’s Far’a camp, near Tubas, troops located what the military describes as a command room used by local terror operatives embedded within a mosque.

The site had numerous surveillance cameras hooked up to television screens, which, according to the IDF, was used by terror operatives to track Israeli forces.

A video from an IDF drone shows the entrance to the mosque, the walls of which are plastered with “martyr posters.” The video also shows equipment that the IDF says is used to build explosive devices.

Further inside the mosque, several primed explosive devices were found, according to the IDF.

This evening, Palestinian media report that the mosque was blown up.
