i24NEWS reports that a large weapons cache was seized from a water well in the village of al-Jib, on Jerusalem's northern fringe. The operation was carried out under an investigation by the Border Police's Jerusalem District (MGB Otef Yerushalayim). Fire and rescue personnel and a professional diver joined the search due to the submerged conditions. The haul includes six rifles and a pipe bomb. Police suspect the weapons were stockpiled for use in attacks. The discovery comes amid ongoing Israeli security operations across the Jerusalem area. As The Zioneer reported on June 10, police sappers neutralized an explosive device in Jerusalem's Pisgat Ze'ev neighborhood on suspected criminal grounds. The current weapons seizure remains under investigation with no arrests yet reported.
