IDF troops operating in the West Bank city of Tulkarem located and destroyed a bomb-making lab and another site used by Palestinian terror operatives to build drones, the military says.
Troops of the Kfir Brigade’s Shimshon Battalion found the explosives lab and an adjacent depot, which included some 100 pipe bombs, eight makeshift mines, and detonator systems, according to the IDF.
The IDF adds that the soldiers also found and demolished a lab used by terror operatives to build drones, and several other buildings “which were used as terror infrastructure in Tulkarem.”
