Israeli security forces completed a multi-night operation to uncover a large weapons cache hidden at the bottom of a deep water well in the village of al-Jib, north of Jerusalem, the Israel Police reported. Border Police fighters from the "Otef Yerushalayim" unit, together with fire and rescue crews, drained the well and conducted a dive to the bottom, where they found sealed bags containing rifles, ammunition, explosive devices, remote detonators, and phones. Investigators suspect the cache was intended for use in terrorist attacks. The operation follows a series of weapons seizures in the Jerusalem area in recent weeks, including the discovery of a large arms cache in the vicinity last month, as The Zioneer reported. The investigation continues, with police working to trace the origins and intended targets of the seized weapons.
