Border Police officers arrested 17 Palestinian suspects overnight in the West Bank town of Abu Dis for allegedly hurling stones, improvised explosives and firebombs at troops last month.

Police say they used “advanced technological means” to identify the suspects who attacked a military post near the town on the outskirts of Jerusalem.

The suspects have been taken to the Shin Bet security agency for further questioning, police say.
