The IDF and Shin Bet completed a 48-hour brigade-level operation in the Nablus area, destroying more than 30 lathes used to manufacture weapons, confiscating arms and ammunition, and arresting dozens of terror suspects, The Zioneer reports.
The IDF and Shin Bet have completed a 48-hour brigade-level operation in the Nablus (Shechem) area of Judea and Samaria, destroying over 30 lathes used for manufacturing weapons, confiscating firearms and ammunition, and arresting dozens of terror suspects, according to The Zioneer.
The operation, which involved troops from multiple units, targeted infrastructure used by terrorist cells to produce arms. The large number of lathes destroyed suggests a major workshop or network of workshops was dismantled.
Israel has conducted repeated raids against weapon-manufacturing sites in Judea and Samaria. In June, the IDF's Yahalom special engineering unit destroyed 18 weapon lathes in the Balata camp and Ras al-Ein area of Nablus, as The Zioneer reported. Over 40 weapon lathes have been seized across the region since the start of 2026.
The identities of the arrested suspects and the specific types of weapons seized have not been disclosed.
