On Sept. 17, a Shin Bet-undercover police unit detained three Palestinians fabricating bombs and using pipes as components for rockets in a covert workshop in the Abu Dis village of Jerusalem, DEBKAfile’s counter-terror sources report. They worked in the grocery storehouse under the direction of an engineer. The terror cell planned a rocket assault on Jerusalem and Maaleh Adummim. The facility also contained a large cache of side arms which the suspects admitted had been stocked ready for terror attacks in the city.
Their questioning led to the arrest Thursday, Oct. 15 of a fourth Palestinian under orders to carry out shooting attacks in Jerusalem and Hebron.
This was the first bomb-making workshop discovered in the Jerusalem area in four years.
Friday, Oct. 16 Palestinians pelted Israel traffic with rocks in seven separate incidents in Jerusalem and the West Bank.
