The cities of Nablus, Ramallah, Qalqilya, and Tulkarm in the West Bank have long been notorious for having smuggled weapons stashed in their karst limestone topography. I first reported this in early 2001. The Hamas has again built up the envirions around these cities with smuggled weapons of all types. I am including Archive Prophecy Updates 2, 11A, and 50A, to illustrate the pattern of smuggled weapon consistency in these areas.

Hamas mounts a new suicide terror offensive against Israeli cities from the West Bank.
The first attack was planned for the Seder Feast in Tel Aviv
April 10, 2007, 7:35 AM (GMT+02:00)
In a combined operation, the Shin Bet and IDF rounded up in the West Bank town of Qalqilya 12 members of a Hamas network which managed to send a truck loaded with 100 kilos of explosives into Greater Tel Aviv on Passover Eve.
For some unknown reason, the truck, which was to have kicked off the resumed Hamas suicide offensive, turned back and was accidentally detonated in the West Bank.
Security sources report that the lethal freight came from a mountain of explosive materials which Hamas has been smuggling for months into the West Bank from the Gaza Strip for their new suicide offensive against Israeli cities – together with an unknown quantity of Qassam missiles.
That Hamas has moved on from its build-up phase to active suicide terror was disclosed by the 19 detainees in interrogation.
The suicide bomber, a Palestinian granted Israeli citizenship under Israel’s family reunification scheme, was killed when his truck which carried Israeli number plates exploded.
DEBKAfile’s military sources report that members of the Qalqilya Hamas network are still at large and that not all its stock of explosives has been run down. Hamas is also suspected of running similar networks in other West bank towns, such as Tulkarm and Nablus. The Islamist group is targeting Palestinians granted Israeli citizenship who may use Israeli license plates on their vehicles, and Israeli Arab collaborators to defy Israeli security watches on the crossings from the West Bank into Israeli towns.
In this case, the truck crossed into Israel despite the closure imposed on the West Bank for the Feast of Passover.
Two weeks ago, chief of staff Lt. Gen. Gaby Ashkenazi stated that one of the Israel military’s most urgent tasks now is to block the transfer of weapons and war materiel from the Gaza Strip to the West Bank, bringing Israel’ s heartland citie
s into close range. DEBKAfile reported at the time that he is too late. The lethal stocks are already in place.

SPECIAL PROPHECY UPDATE NUMBER 11A
February, 2001
I have received several queries concerning present military escalations between the PA and the IDF in Israel, and there seems to be concern that it will develop into a major war between the two opposing forces. And others have expressed a fear that Israel’s Arab neighbors might join the conflict.
I do not believe there is a good reason for believing that a major war will break out in Israel at this present time.
In previous prophecy updates, which you can pull up out of our prophecy archive, especially in update number 2, we have discussed how the PA smuggled in, and then hid, thousands of katyusha rockets in the zone around Tul Karm and Kalkilya. Until you see the PA start to utilize these rockets, there is no need for alarm over the possibility of a major war in the Mid-East.
The PA has also smuggled in thousands of shoulder held antitank launchers across the Jordan at night, and below and above the border with Sinai. So far we have only seen active fighting in those areas where these rockets and antitank weapons are not stored.
These weapons are being held in reserve for the time that a coordinated attack by Syria, leading several other Arab nations, can be conducted with the Palestinians creating internal chaos in central Israel.

SPECIAL PROPHECY UPDATE NUMBER 50A
January 17, 2002
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) encircled five cities yesterday in autonomous zones of the Palestinians in Samaria. These cities were not selected at random. The recent vast shipment of weaponry taken off the seagoing vessel Karine A, on which I reported fully in prevuous Prophecy Updates, has finally stirred Israel into action on uncovering the hundreds of caches of weaponry planned to be used by the Palestinians in a future Jihad involving Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Iran. The five cities encircled by the IDF were Tulkarm, Kalkilya, Jenin, Nablus, and Ramallah. The limestone hills of this area contain caves whose mouths have been covered, and inside these are found the types of weaponry stored for future use after Israel has
been lured into a false sense of security. The Israelis gave the excuse of warnings of additional attacks by terrorist groups as the reason for blockading these cities, which is partially true, but they also want to trap terrorists to flush them out in place, and to scour the surrounding area in hopes of finding local caches of smuggled weapons.
Ple ase mark the names of the five cities I mentioned in Prophecy Update Number 2, January 2001,
as the zones where smuggled weaponry was concealed in limestone caves.
In Prophecy Update Number 2, issued early last year, I advised: “The Palestinians have also been sneaking in thousands of katyusha rockets through tunnels under the Egyptian border.
These rockets pass through the Palestinian controlled Gaza Strip, and eventually end up in the areas around Tulkarm and Kalkilya (Qalqilya).” I then explained the reason for their being placed in this strategic position overlooking 70% of the Israeli population along the coastal plain from Tel Aviv to Haifa. I then went on to state: “I expect the IDF to eventually raid these areas, but with only limited success.” I then went on to explain how other sections of the West Bank (Samaria) were receiving and storing their weapons in limestone caves that dot the interior. I concluded: “But the main weaponry smuggled into these areas consists of anti-tank launchers, which have been concealed in this zone in countless numbers from south of Jenin to Nablus to north of Ramalla.”
