Israeli security forces busted a weapons production facility and seized weapons during raids throughout the West Bank on Tuesday night, the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said on Wednesday morning.

Four lathes for producing weapons like Carlo submachine guns were confiscated by the Israel Defense Forces, Shin Bet, and Israel Border Police in Hebron, along with a few dozen 9mm cartridges, AR-15 type rifle parts, an old hunting rifle, and Hamas paraphernalia.

Two people were arrested along with the weapons manufactory. Eleven other people were arrested in Qalqilya, Tubas, Nablus, Beit Duqqu, Beit Ummar, Shuyukh Al’arrub, and Dheisha. Military equipment and three weapons were seized in Tubas, and in Beit Ummar two Carlos were confiscated.
