A large rocket cache was located and seized in a special Israeli security forces operation overnight in Beitunia, near Ramallah, in the West Bank between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.
Fifteen rockets were located at the scene by the IDF's Binyamin Brigade, Border Police, and the Shin Bet, after receiving intelligence on their location. The rockets found were each in different stages of production. Forces also located explosives, arms, and additional weapons.
The Border Police dismantled the explosives and weapons found at the scene.
The operation was conducted following an investigation by the Shin Bet of a terror cell involved in rocket production that was apprehended in Ramallah last week, and the rockets located and destroyed in this week's operation belonged to that same cell, an IDF source said.
