Tonight, detectives from the Ramla Police crime fighting unit located weapons during a proactive search, according to Channel 14. A police bomb squad neutralized the explosives, and the items were transferred to forensic laboratories. Scans are ongoing to rule out additional charges in the area.
The development comes hours after police reported uncovering three powerful pipe bombs and dozens of bullets stolen from the IDF near the old Ramla train station at 17:56 Jerusalem, thwarting what they described as a criminal terror attack. The Zioneer later provided further details on the discovery at 18:41. The current operation is separate from that earlier find.
The Zioneer has also reported on prior police operations in Ramla, including a June 30 seizure of over 800 M16 rifle rounds and weapon components from a city apartment, which led to the arrest of a local man in his 20s. The ongoing enforcement efforts reflect a broader campaign to crack down on illicit weapons and criminal activity in the area.
No arrests have been reported in connection with tonight's search. Police continue to scan the area for additional explosives. The findings are being processed for forensic evidence.
