IDF Activity in Nablus

IDF Activity in Nablus
IDF Spokesperson 22 February 2003

During the weekend, IDF forces who have been operating in the Kasbah in
Nablus since 18 February 2003, uncovered an explosives lab and two weapons
caches.

Yesterday, IDF forces discovered pipe bombs ready for used on the second
floor of a building, which were meant to be thrown out the window toward IDF
forces operating in the city. In addition, five boxes containing large
amounts of TATP explosives were discovered as well as dozens of containers
of various chemicals, bolts and nails. The lab was demolished in a
controlled manner.

In a different building, IDF forces uncovered a cache containing electronic
devices used in laying explosive devices, written manuals on how to lay
explosives, IDF uniforms and masks.

Today, during IDF operations in the Kasbah in Nablus, an IDF force uncovered
in one of the houses a large crate containing weapons. The crate held
grenades, a M-16 rifle, hand gun, parts of rifles, double strung wire used
to detonate explosive charges, detonators, night vision equipment, uniforms,
mattresses, blankets and food.

It must be noted that last week a weapons lab was uncovered in the Kasbah in
Nablus, which contained lathes used in the manufacturing of explosive
charges. In addition, metal balls, dozens of pipe bombs, an oven used to
cast parts of the explosive device, a purifying machine for explosives and a
British make of explosives, were discovered inside.
