A joint paratrooper and Shin Bet force uncovered an explosive lab in Nablus Friday night. In the lab, the forces found teddy bears with wires hanging from them, apparently slated to be used as explosive devices.
The lab was detonated in a controlled manner, and there were no reports of injuries.
The forces also found in the explosives lab three belts made from cloth, ready to contain explosives, a hollow coat used for hiding explosives, and 20 light bulbs and light sockets used for activating explosives.
Test tubes, a hollow gas tank, hollow pipes, batteries, 40 liters of hydrogen peroxide and ohms were also found in the lab.
Since the beginning of the year, Israel Defense Forces soldiers operating in Nablus hit 41 gunmen who were planning, according to the defense establishment, to hit IDF troops or Israeli citizens.
Some 320 wanted terror suspects were arrested in the West Bank city and its surroundings since the beginning of the year, most of them affiliated with Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Fatah and Hamas.
At the beginning of the year, another explosives lab was uncovered in the city’s casba. The forces located the lab in an abandoned building after receiving intelligence.
Captain Assaf Cabra, a company commander at the Haruv battalion, addressed the operation at the time: “We launched a regimental operation in Nablus, which included searches, seizing weapons and arrests. We uncovered the explosive lab in the casba, which contained between 40 to 50 kilograms (88 to 110 pounds) of explosives for preparing explosive devices.”
The defense establishment reported that the terror organizations were working with greater vigor to carry out terror attacks from the city, and in the past months many explosive belts were captured in the area and gunmen were arrested on their way to carry out attacks in Israel .
Wild Thing’s comment……
I am glad they found this lab and I should not be surprised that these subhuman pieces of flesh would do such a thing as to use a childs toy, something so innocent to bring death to children. But then why be surprised, they send their own children off to kill and destroy others lives.

This is just sick. But this is also islam, which has no limits. islam seems to exist to kill. If there were only two muslims left in the world they would be plotting to kill each other.
I agree. These people are sick in the head. Putting explosives in Teddy Bears. What will it be next? We have to draw the line. This sickness has to stop!
Tom…..”If there were only two muslims left in the world they would be plotting to kill each other.”………. how true!
Lynn I agree, I can’t imagine how they think to do things like this. Except they are run by such hate.
