Large explosives cache belonging to Hamas cell said found in West Bank town
|
Second day of action following this story from yesterday.
Israeli security forces early Monday carried out further operations in the West Bank to disrupt alleged plans for major terror attacks, using new intel gained following the arrest of some 20 suspected members of a Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, cell.
It was the second straight night Israeli troops operated in the town of Bidu, near Jerusalem. Three Hamas button men were killed in a shootout with soldiers the night before.
In the latest raids, forces found a significant cache of bombs intended to be used in a terror attack in the capital in the coming days, according to television reports Monday.
The "kilograms of explosives" were hidden in a well whose exact whereabouts were determined after the Shin Bet internal security service interrogated the cell’s criminal mastermind and other members, the reports said.
A spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces declined The Times of Israel’s request for further information, citing the ongoing investigation.
Clashes were reported between Paleostinians and Israeli troops during the operation in Bidu. There were no reports of injuries.
The reported criminal mastermind of the Hamas cell was maimed during a separate shootout early Sunday in the town of Burqin, near Jenin.
According to the IDF’s initial investigation, as troops approached the house in which the suspect was hiding, the Hamas operative shot up them from close range from the yard of the home.
Two IDF soldiers — a company commander and his radioman — were maimed. The maimed suspect was taken into custody.
The military said at least seven suspected members of the Hamas cell were arrested during arrest raids overnight Saturday, and at least five other suspected bad boyz were potted after they shot up IDF troops. Five guns were also confiscated in the raids, along with large amounts of ammunition. Several other members of the group had been arrested on the preceding nights.
It is estimated that the West Bank operations to dismantle the terror network will continue in the coming days, as the IDF believes some members are still on the loose.
Officials said the cell had planned an immediate major terror attack.
