rocket and explosive devices, and had conducted at least three launch tests. "The investigation also revealed that the cell received information via a messaging app concerning materials required to manufacture explosives, from an outside source who was in contact with the main suspect in the affair," the Shin Bet and police say in a joint statement. Forces seized several weapons, including an assault rifle and an RPG, along with "written materials containing information and instructions for manufacturing explosives, rockets and explosive devices intended for use against the State of Israel and security forces," the statement says. Indictments are expected to be filed against the six in the coming days. In recent years, there have been several attempts by Palestinian terror groups to develop and launch crude rockets from the West Bank at Israeli settlements and at Israel, though with little to no success.
Sechs Palästinenser aus dem Raum Dschenin im nördlichen Westjordanland sind wegen des Versuchs festgenommen worden, Raketen zu bauen, die auf Israel abgefeuert werden sollten, wie der Inlandsgeheimdienst Schin Bet und die israelische Polizei mitteilen. Die Ermittlungen von Schin Bet und Polizei deckten ein Terrornetzwerk auf, das eine Rakete und Sprengvorrichtungen hergestellt und mindestens drei Starttests durchgeführt hatte. „Die Ermittlungen ergaben außerdem, dass die Zelle über eine Messaging-App von einer externen Quelle, die mit dem Hauptverdächtigen in dem Fall in Kontakt stand, Informationen über die für die Herstellung von Sprengstoff benötigten Materialien erhielt“, heißt es in einer gemeinsamen Erklärung von Schin Bet und Polizei. Die Einsatzkräfte beschlagnahmten mehrere Waffen, darunter ein Sturmgewehr und eine RPG, sowie „schriftliche Unterlagen mit Informationen und Anweisungen zur Herstellung von Sprengstoff, Raketen und Sprengvorrichtungen, die gegen den Staat Israel und die Sicherheitskräfte eingesetzt werden sollten“, heißt es in der Erklärung. Gegen die sechs sollen in den kommenden Tagen Anklagen erhoben werden. In den vergangenen Jahren gab es mehrere Versuche palästinensischer Terrorgruppen, primitive Raketen im Westjordanland zu entwickeln und von dort auf israelische Siedlungen und Israel abzufeuern, allerdings mit wenig bis gar keinem Erfolg.
