Undercover Border Police operating in Judea and Samaria arrested two terrorists overnight (between Wednesday and Thursday) who were planning to carry out an imminent attack in the Nablus area, following precise intelligence from the Shin Bet, Israel’s internal security agency.
The forces entered the area undercover, surrounded the building where the suspects were hiding, and began negotiations until the terrorists surrendered and were arrested.
The two suspects were handcuffed, loaded into protective vehicles and transferred directly to the General Security Service’s interrogation facilities, where they are currently being interrogated in order to understand the exact outline of the attack they planned, whether external funding and guidance were involved, and whether there were any weapons or additional partners who were supposed to take part in the terror scenario that was thwarted.
Border Police undercover units, together with all security forces, will continue to operate to thwart terror and arrest terrorists anywhere and anytime, in order to protect the security of Israeli citizens and security forces.
