IDF Arrests Terrorists and Uncovers Large Stash of Weapons near Shechem

Army intelligence led the IDF to round up seven terrorists in the Shechem (Nablus) area Wednesday night, confiscating a large number of weapons and nearly $70,000 in cash.

The soldiers seized Kalashnikov rifles, an Uzi sub-machine gun, six cartridges for M-16 semi-automatic rifles, several knives, two pistols, a pipe for a bomb and a large sum of money.

The terrorists have been turned over to security personnel for questioning.

The Palestinian Authority officially is committed to maintaining security in the Shechem area and contends it will protect Israel from terror in the event of the creation of a Palestinian state within Israel’s borders.
