In a joint operation the IDF, the secret service and the special counter terrorism unit raided a hidden apartment in the Kasbah of Nablus that was used as a explosives laboratory for key operatives of the "Lion's Den" terrorist infrastructure, which is responsible, among other things, for the shooting attack in which an IDF soldier, Sgt. Ido Baruch, was killed. During the activity, several armed men were shot and the Palestinians report casualties. The explosives laboratory was blown up by our forces.
