The IDF said soldiers from Battalion 890 and the elite Yahalom engineering unit destroyed ten lathes used for manufacturing weapons and explosive devices during an overnight counterterrorism operation in Qabatiya, northern Samaria.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Tuesday, the IDF dismantled ten weapon production machines in Qabatiya overnight. The military has now specified that the operation was carried out by soldiers from Battalion 890 and the elite Yahalom engineering unit, who destroyed the lathes used for manufacturing weapons and explosive devices. The destruction of weapon-production infrastructure in the Samaria area has been a recurring focus of Israeli counterterrorism operations, with similar raids in recent weeks targeting lathes and workshops in the Nablus and Jenin areas.
