The IDF spokesperson announced that fighters from Battalion 7114, together with Shin Bet forces, located an explosives laboratory with materials for preparing bombs in Ramallah overnight. The forces also arrested a terror cell that had planned to carry out attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF forces. At the same time, IDF officers from the Civil Administration, in cooperation with the Benjamin Brigade forces, conducted enforcement operations against a compound and several construction components that were built illegally in the village of Silwad. Under the cover of the construction components that were demolished during the enforcement activity, terrorists threw stones at Israeli vehicles traveling on Route 60. Therefore, the Central Command commander, Major General Avi Blot, ordered quick enforcement in the area.
