Israeli security forces have dismantled a significant rocket and explosives manufacturing operation in Jenin, thwarting a plot to attack Israel and its security forces. The investigation, a joint effort by the Shin Bet and the Central District's special investigations unit, uncovered a facility producing rockets and explosive devices. Over the weekend, prosecutors filed a statement of charges against six suspects, all in their 30s and residents of the Jenin area. An indictment is expected in the coming days.
The probe, which has been ongoing for several months, revealed that the suspects manufactured rocket bodies and explosive charges, and conducted three test firings. They also received information on explosive material production via a messaging app from an individual outside Israel who was in contact with the main suspect. Written materials detailing instructions for creating explosives, rockets, and charges were also seized.
Authorities believe the weapons and infrastructure were intended for use against Israel and its security forces. The Shin Bet and police stated that the investigation led to the charges being filed and that further legal action is anticipated. They also affirmed a continued commitment to counter-terrorism operations and prosecuting those involved in such activities, in cooperation with the IDF.
