Israeli forces uncover rocket-making site near Ramallah

IDF raids Palestinian rocket-production site near Ramallah, seizing dozens of rockets and arresting suspects. Yesha Council demands sovereignty in response to terror threat.

"It is either sovereignty-or Palestine - Yesha Council"

Tel Aviv, September 19

Israeli security forces uncovered a Palestinian rocket-production site in the Ramallah area overnight, seizing dozens of rockets, including some ready to be launched, the Israel Defence Forces said on Friday.

Explosives, charges, and a specialised lathe for manufacturing the rockets were also confiscated and destroyed, the IDF added.

Three suspects were arrested.

The raid comes on the heels of the army's discovery of a makeshift rocket during a counterterror raid in the nearby Palestinian village of Kafr Ni'ma. That rocket was inoperable, lacking both a warhead and the means to be launched.

In response, the Yesha Council, an umbrella organisation representing the Jewish communities of Judea and Samaria, called on the government to take stronger measures against terror and to apply sovereignty to their areas.

"When the Israeli government continues to stutter, terror raises its head again and grows stronger. Whoever does not apply sovereignty gives hope to terror and invites the rockets and the next massacre in the centre of the country," the council said.

"It is either sovereignty-or Palestine," the council added.

As an Indian who understands border security challenges, I think both sides need to find a peaceful solution. Constant raids and counter-raids only escalate tensions. Dialogue is the only way forward.

The situation reminds me of our own challenges with cross-border terrorism. No country can tolerate rocket manufacturing facilities near its borders. Strong action is justified for national security.

While security measures are necessary, the "sovereignty or Palestine" ultimatum seems extreme. There has to be a middle path that respects both security concerns and Palestinian rights. Complex issue 🤔

Good that they caught these weapons before they could be used. Terror infrastructure needs to be dismantled wherever it exists. Hope the arrested suspects provide useful intelligence.

The cycle of violence continues... When will both sides realize that military solutions alone won't work? Ordinary people on both sides just want to live in peace. So sad 😔
