Last week, IDF troops located a crude and inoperable rocket in a West Bank village near Ramallah, the military says.
According to the IDF, the makeshift rocket found in Kafr Ni’ma did not have a warhead and was not packed with explosives that could have enabled it to fly.
Police sappers are investigating the device, while the IDF is working to track down the terror cell involved in building it, the military adds.
In recent years, there have been several attempts by Palestinian terror groups to launch crude rockets from the West Bank at Israeli settlements and at Israel, though with little to no success.
