The IDF reported on Tuesday that troops along with the Border Police uncovered a lathe used to manufacture weapons in the village of Saffa, west of Ramallah.
The IDF will continue operating in its effort to locate illegal weapons and maintaining residents’ safety in the area.

The suspects were taken in for interrogation.
In addition, soldiers seized terror funds equaling tens of thousands of shekels.
One gun was found during a search for illegal weapons.
