Elite Kfir Brigade Troops Dismantle Weapons Depot and Drone Lab
In a decisive counterterrorism operation in northern Samaria, IDF forces from the elite Kfir Brigade’s Shimshon Battalion successfully located and destroyed a weapons depot and an improvised drone manufacturing lab in the terrorist stronghold of Tulkarm. The operation, conducted on March 6, 2025, is part of Israel’s ongoing efforts to dismantle terror networks in Judea and Samaria.
During the raid, approximately 100 pipe bombs, eight large IEDs, and an advanced remote detonation system were uncovered and neutralized before they could be used in attacks against Israeli civilians and security forces.
Additionally, the troops uncovered and destroyed a makeshift drone manufacturing facility, along with several buildings that served as terror infrastructure in the area.
Tulkarm has long been a center for terrorist activity, with Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives using the city to plan and launch attacks against Israelis. The dismantling of these terror infrastructure sites is a significant blow to the terrorist networks attempting to destabilize the region.
IDF’s Commitment to Security
The Israeli security forces remain steadfast in their mission to eliminate terrorist threats in Judea and Samaria. The operation in Tulkarm is part of Israel’s broader security campaign to ensure the safety of its citizens and prevent further acts of terror.
As terrorist groups continue to exploit civilian areas for their operations, the IDF will take whatever measures are necessary to protect Israel from those who seek its destruction.
