IDF says troops destroyed bomb-making factory in Tulkarem

The military says it destroyed a bomb-making factory uncovered by troops in the northern West Bank city of Tulkarem.

Soldiers found some 200 bombs and 150 kilograms of explosive materials to make further bombs, which were detonated along with the building, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

The IDF also says that troops arrested 18 suspects across the West Bank yesterday and confiscated a gun and other weaponry. Among those arrested was a Palestinian from Beita suspected of involvement in a recent roadside bomb attack that wounded two reserve soldiers, one of them seriously.
