Joint statement from the Shin Bet and IDF Spokespersons: The Shin Bet and IDF thwarted a large smuggling of advanced weapons originating from Iran intended for terrorist operatives in Judea and Samaria.
As part of a joint operation by the Shin Bet and IDF, another shipment of weapons originating from Iran, intended for operatives in Judea and Samaria, was recently seized.
The seized shipment contained destabilizing weapons, including anti-tank rockets, Kilimogor charges, drones capable of dropping explosives, hand grenades, and machine guns. This seizure adds to the prevention of similar weapons shipments uncovered on March 25 and November 27, 2024.
In recent months, a weapons dealer residing in the Ramallah area was arrested by the Shin Bet and IDF. During the investigation, significant information was obtained about his connection to weapons smugglers. The General Security Service's activity led to locating the shipment and those involved in its possession.
