Palestinian Authority security forces on Thursday raided a Palestinian Islamic Jihad bomb lab in Jenin, arresting two members of the terror group, seizing a number of bombs and a large quantity of explosives, Israeli media reported on Sunday.

Five large bombs and six smaller pipe bombs were seized, according to Kan News.

A second, related raid was conducted in the city of Tubas, northeast of Nablus, according to the report.

Two Israelis were killed and over 20 injured in a pair of bombings in Jerusalem on November 23.

Israeli security forces continue to hunt for the perpetrators.
