The IDF says it has confiscated more than 240 firearms and other weapons throughout Judea and Samaria since the beginning of 2026, including guns, ammunition, weapons-manufacturing equipment, and additional terrorism-related materials.

Among the discoveries highlighted by the military were ammunition allegedly hidden inside a hardware store in Bethlehem and a weapons-production lathe found inside a civilian building in Nablus.

According to the IDF, the findings underscore ongoing efforts by Palestinian terrorist groups to operate within civilian areas and use civilian infrastructure to support terrorist activities. The military said operations to locate weapons and dismantle terror networks throughout Judea and Samaria remain ongoing.
