The discovery of the shrapnel comes following multiple videos in Palestinian media showing improvised and home-made rocket launches from Palestinian areas in the West Bank.
Improvised rockets were also found by the IDF during their two-day operation in Jenin, where the army found a large cache of weapons being hidden by Palestinian terror groups.
Israeli towns on the border of the Gaza Strip have long lived under the threat of rockets. The prospect of rockets launched against Israeli towns from West Bank terrorists represents a threatening escalation for Israel's security establishment.
