Police and IDF forces conducted searches in 16 locations throughout Yehuda and Shomron, leading to the confiscation of weapons and ammunition. Four handguns, seven rifles and 21 clips were confiscated along with an unspecified amount of ammunition, stolen military gear and 250,000 NIS in cash.

Israel Police Shai (Shomron/Yehuda) District Chief Kobi Cohen said “this was a widespread operation focused on finding weapons and ammunition. We were determined to get the weapons before they were used by terrorists and criminal elements. This operation is only a small portion of ongoing police efforts and similar operations are to be expected in the near future”.
