Two Palestinians who allegedly attempted to establish a terror cell in the al-Am’ari refugee camp in the West Bank city of Ramallah were recently detained by officers, police say.

The pair, who were known to have been armed, were nabbed by officers of the police’s elite Gideonim unit, in a joint operation with the IDF and Shin Bet, a police spokesperson says.

According to the Shin Bet, the two suspects were previously jailed for terror activity.
