Israeli security forces conducted a joint operation in the West Bank city of Nablus (Shchem) over the weekend, seizing a cache of weapons and cash. The raid, carried out by the Israel Prison Service's (Shabas) special operations unit and the Israel Defense Forces' (IDF) Samaria Brigade, in coordination with the Shin Bet security agency, took place on Thursday night into Friday.
Intelligence gathered by the Prison Service indicated suspected arms trafficking and storage at a suspect's home in the area. Following operational planning, forces raided the location and, with the assistance of a detection dog, discovered an M16 rifle, a handgun, a stun grenade, an aiming scope, a foregrip, and approximately 9,000 shekels in cash.
Two suspects were apprehended for further investigation. The operation is part of ongoing efforts by the Prison Service, IDF, and Shin Bet to thwart terror infrastructure, locate illegal weapons, and target those involved in their trade and possession.
Nablus has been a focal point of recent security operations, with IDF soldiers patrolling its old city as part of intensive counter-terrorism activities. Similar operations are currently underway in Tulkarm, Jenin, Qalqilya, and Hebron. The Prison Service also recently participated in an operation in Umm al-Fahm where nine illegal residents were arrested and ammunition was seized.
