The Israel Defense Forces says troops located and seized a makeshift rocket among other weapons during the ongoing operation in the West Bank city of Jenin.

The IDF says it is continuing to operate in the city at this time, and is clashing with Palestinian gunmen.

IDF drones have carried out more than ten strikes in Jenin since this morning, the military says.

The IDF adds that forces also demolished a laboratory used to manufacture explosive devices.

“Security forces will continue to act as much as is necessary in order to foil the threat of terrorism in the area,” the military adds.
