The IDF and Shin Bet have released further details on a 48-hour brigade-level counterterrorism operation in the Nablus area of the Samaria Brigade, which concluded earlier today. According to the military, forces swept hundreds of sites, interrogated dozens of suspects, and arrested more than 10 wanted individuals. Over 30 lathes used for manufacturing weapons were destroyed, and hidden weapons including rifles, pistols, and ammunition were confiscated.
The operation, which began approximately 48 hours ago, targeted weapon-production infrastructure in the city of Nablus and surrounding villages. As The Zioneer reported earlier, the operation resulted in the destruction of over 30 weapon lathes and the arrest of dozens of terror suspects. The newly released details add that the forces conducted extensive searches and interrogations across the area.
The destruction of weapon-manufacturing lathes has been a recurring focus of IDF counterterrorism efforts in Judea and Samaria, with similar operations reported in recent weeks in Qabatiya, Balata camp, and Bethlehem.
