During operations in the central West Bank over the past day, the IDF’s 7114th Battalion of the Binyamin Brigade together with the Shin Bet has foiled a terrorist cell planning attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers, the military says.
According to the IDF, troops uncovered an explosives lab in Ramallah containing materials used to manufacture bombs and arrested several suspects.
Additionally, the IDF and Civil Administration, the Defense Ministry body in charge of Israeli and Palestinian civil affairs in the West Bank, carried out enforcement actions against illegal construction in the village of Silwad, northeast of Ramallah. Assailants reportedly used these illegal structures as cover to throw stones at Israeli vehicles traveling on Route 60.
Following these incidents, the chief of the IDF Central Command, Maj. Gen. Avi Bluth ordered swift enforcement actions to maintain security.
