While Jerusalem slowly returns to routine, far from the spotlight, Israel’s security forces are racing against time to stop the next explosion
Over the past 24 hours, Israeli Police, the IDF, and the Shin Bet launched a wave of raids in villages across the West Bank — including Hebron, Jenin, Tulkarem, and Ramallah. These operations are part of a broader effort to intercept terror cells before they reach the heart of Israel’s capital
Weapons, Explosives, and Terror Funds in One House
In the village of Deir Samet near Hebron, a full explosives lab was uncovered. Israeli forces seized firebombs, fuel tanks, a dismantled explosive belt, fake weapons (Airsoft), military gear, knives, phones, and cameras — all stored in a single residence
Suspicious cash was also found: ₪27,330 and 30,500 Hungarian forints — believed to be terror-linked
The suspect, a local resident, was arrested and transferred to Hebron Police for investigation

A Web of Terror, From Hebron to Jerusalem
In a coordinated strike, Border Police arrested a weapons dealer in Jenin, five more suspects near Ramallah, and four in Tulkarem. One lab, multiple suspects, and thousands of shekels were seized overnight — all part of an effort to stop what could’ve landed inside Jerusalem
Police officials said: “This is not a localized threat — we are preventing attacks on Jerusalem and the Israeli heartland
Keeping Jerusalem Safe Starts Far Away
As Jerusalem’s markets, buses, and schools reopen, each raid across the West Bank becomes a silent layer of protection — one that keeps the city’s people breathing freely.
