Over the last few months, IDF troops, joint with the ISA (Shin Bet) and the Israeli Police, have apprehended over 50 terror operatives, all part of a large-scale terrorist cell based in the Judea and Samaria area, in order to carry out different terror attacks in Judea and Samaria and Jerusalem. The thwarted terrorist cell possessed many weapons and explosives, including explosives suitable for building a number of heavy explosive terror belts.
