Six suspects from the Jenin area have been indicted for possessing weapons and manufacturing explosive devices, according to a statement from the police and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency). The arrests followed an investigation spanning several months into a cell that allegedly produced rocket bodies and explosive charges. During the investigation, authorities seized an M16 rifle and an RPG launcher. Investigators discovered that the cell conducted three test launches of the devices they produced in the West Bank. The group reportedly received information about necessary materials for explosives production via a messaging app from an external source in contact with the main suspect.

An indictment is expected to be filed against the six individuals in the coming days.
